Such a shame, because this place looks very inviting for bicycle ride. I wonder if everyone obeys that rule.
Posted by Juha Ylitalo at October 19, 2007 02:37 AMLove the isolation here.
Posted by Jeff Ambrose at October 19, 2007 02:44 AMI know this place!!! Great shot, minimalism and "strange" B/W. Well done.
Posted by Astigmatic at October 19, 2007 03:37 AMReminds me of something out of '1984'
Posted by One Way at October 19, 2007 04:04 AMlooks like an art gallary to me.
nice capture, perspective is great.
love the monochrome.
like yesterdays image- simple yet clean and very interesting even though it is all shades of grey. I'm sure you can appreciate the bike sign too Sam!
Posted by Jason at October 19, 2007 08:42 AMgreat shot! one of my favorites...
Posted by Shadan at October 19, 2007 09:51 AMVery cool! I really like the feel of this one, although it does feel slightly overprocessed.
Posted by Serena at October 19, 2007 10:01 AMOoh. I like it! ...and I want to paint it orange.
Posted by Kimberly Way at October 19, 2007 11:16 AMExcellent one!!!
Posted by Nefaryta at October 19, 2007 12:38 PMVery aesthetic picture, center focus on the sign in the background very nice!
Posted by Quinn at October 19, 2007 12:57 PMi love these empty spaces...
Posted by phi at October 19, 2007 01:30 PMTHAT TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE THE RAMP UP TO THE 500'S AT THE SKYDOME..THEN AGAIN I GUESS IT WOULD LOOK LIKE PRETTY MUCH ANY CONCRETE-FORMED RAMP STRUCTURE...LEAVE IT TO THIS GUY TO MAKE IT INTO A DOPE PICTURE...THANKS DOOD!!
Posted by ME at October 19, 2007 01:45 PMI can almost hear the echo of footsteps in this image. A nice mood shot!
Posted by Photo Buffet at October 19, 2007 04:51 PMOhhh, I love that little touch of colour on the sign. The railings almost look fake due to the shadow-play.
Posted by Michael Holt at October 19, 2007 06:56 PMAre you sure this is "no bicycles"?? Because the bike sign in the background suggests that bikes are allowed...maybe my eyes just suck.
Posted by Anthony at October 19, 2007 09:54 PMWow, Austria. On first glance I thought this was the entry ramp at the AGO, the one that leads to the Henry Moore exhibit.
Posted by Micki at October 19, 2007 11:30 PMThis looks rather like an atomic bunker...
Posted by Mateusz Misko at October 20, 2007 03:31 AMBeautiful! Perfectly balanced, movement in stasis, rhythm of planes and of the two simple shapes, circle and rectilinear; beautiful surfaces and light.
Anyone who wants to build a concrete church should hire this architect, and anyone who wants it immortalized in an unforgettable photo should ask you.
Fun: count the circles. First you think there's just one, then you focus on the end-spot and realize the absent bicycle is the spirit of the place; then you notice the bulls-eye potlights and the light-patterns they project through the big circle. More resonances here, more enjoyment of the perspectives and the suede-like delicacy you've brought out on the surfaces of the clean, structural cement.
My new wallpaper. Thank you!
Wide & cool :)
Posted by Mohamadreza at October 20, 2007 02:43 PMAmazing. Love it in B&W, does this remind anyone else of Halo or is it just me?
