Description It is funny how an endless world of dynamic and abstract elements tend to all come together at one common point. They all have their own purposes and they come from different places. Some stand out and some lie in the subtleties. Some are clean and aesthetic while others are gritty and best avoided. In the end, despite their differences, they work together and the end result is a unified existence that does something incredible. The subway levitates a city over it's head while maintaining a transit network that carries thousands of people a day.

I guess the point is, to just think what we could achieve if only we would attempt to simply understand each other's differences, and work together towards a better tomorrow. We spend so much time fighting over our differences that we miss the value and beauty within those differences. Perhaps if we would only admit that a tunnel full of pillars would never amount to anything but that... a tunnel full of pillars. If we will admit that it takes the stairs, the rails, the trains, the lights, the pipes and the maines to achieve what this system achieves. Perhaps if we would only admit this simple idea, we would discover one of the beautiful secrets to our own lives.

Or perhaps I am reading too much into this picture? Either way, I hope that you will fancy it

This was taken several weeks ago in Philadelphia. If you look extra close, you will notice just how many little symmetrical elements there are

Great shot josh. The thought put into the composition is quite apparent. There is an extreme amount of symmetry (sp?). all the lines converging makes for a really great effect. I also noticed that the lines almost dived the picture up into a pie with three even pieces...great work.

Seriously good work Josh. There is quite a lot I could say about this, but it's Saturday morning and I'm not up to mental speed yet. Suffice to say that this is one of the best images of it's type I've seen.
