Reminiscent of a movie still from the 1930s or perhaps an illustration – it is not just the architecture, but your point of view that takes one back – sort of like we continue to partly exist within layers of previous attitudes, perceptions, and times.

@daina: this statement - "like we continue to partly exist within layers of previous attitudes, perceptions, and times" - is so well said. it expresses something that i believe, but don't think i could have put into words. thanks as always for your comments daina.

It does look like a vision of the future from a Soviet science fiction movie. It's awesome (in the original sense of "inspiring awe" as well as "really good") :)

What a dramatic perfectness, Grant. This is great! A great frame & great point of view leave me speechless. What a beauty! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I like the angles and dramatic look of this cityscape. Fine black and white handling of the scene too. Well done.
