 i find the bicycle to be quite an organic touch to this otherwise lifeless picture.

thanks a lot to pineapple and canary for the title.

Everything is set just perfect, like it is from a scene in a movie and not done naturally over time, I imagine the bicyclist didn't even notice, but I am glad you did. :)

thanks for the info Sim, it's good to hear the japanese version as well, tho it's not as unearthly sounding as chinese :)
i liked it a lot that it was sky :(
well, i guess i'll change the title again...

For some reason this image stands out amongst the crowd of images when I viewed the browse section.
I really like it, as it has so much happening, but it all comes together so beautifully.....
It tells a story about urban art, and thats what I like about it.....

Love the whole mix of things.. each and every part could have easily been the focus but you chose to mix them together and they look amazing..

I do like the bike alot too. It gives scale to the photo, and does add a nice touch of life -- but I think it is an awesome urban photo even without the bike. I just love that urban grungy look. I think this is great.

Love it! It's like a mosaic of personalities. Wonderful!

I'm surprised you thought this was lifeless. It's full of your dynamic, urban energy. There may not be any obvious organic life forms, but I wouldn't call it lifeless. And the bike is a nice touch of humanity as well.

now-and-again lapse is a very good idea actually :) i'm afraid this picture will be quite dull and not even half interesting once a building is built here :( unfortunately, i agree that vacant lots are quite endangered species these days.

very cool, thanks for the info andrew. i like that the sign means sky, kind of contradicts with the fact that there is no sky in the picture. or now, there is sky in the picture. i'll change the title to "sky" :)
