Description Old and New.

Where worlds collide the remnants of the past stand out.
The old, once prestigious, buildings loose themselves in a sea of glass.
The sun no longer shines here.
Here in the dark and almost forgotten past.

FULL VIEW HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very nice composition and contrast. Consept is great too.
If you are ever going to shoot that place again you might try to go and shoot it a little bit more left from this place so you might get somekind of illusion of ying&yang-symbol when the lower end of older building intrudes the newer building more. This was just a wild thought that crossed my mind...
Very excellent piece of photo-art

meemo In reply to chriscrossxyz [2007-09-07 14:26:02 +0000 UTC]

yea looks like the same block/building.. i think its the smith&caugheys on queens st.
quite possible that our path have crossed aye although i have to say that i hardly ever see any non-tourist photographers in Auckland, especially in the downtown area.
