    Am I the only one who finds this kind of image beautiful? Long stretches of clean concrete just look so nice to me.

      My girlfriend thinks I’m crazy for liking brutalist architecture and long stretches of open highway, but I can’t help it, the concrete look and utilitarian designs just scratch an itch in my brain lol

        It’s not the concrete road, it’s what it represents.

        Not pictured: Me, on my motorcycle, just over the rise there on the horizon.

        Same. Recently went to Seattle and my family was weirded out that I was almost more enthralled by the massive amounts of concrete structures and huge metal industrial complexes and shipyards than the ocean. Metal and steel structures, even when rusted over just make me feel this surreal calm. There’s also something so beautiful about blackberry bushes growing over brutalist concrete structures, even if it’s just a highway overpass

          I’m in complete agreement, I honestly really like the look of industrial buildings, urban decay, etc. I do a lot of nature and landscape photography but what got me started in the first place was Liminal Space and abandoned or worn down buildings. Just kind of reminds me of driving around the more run down parts of the city with my dad when I was younger. I have a picture I’m particularly fond of that I need to dig around for, of some vines and red leaves growing down over the open door of an abandoned garage that I need to upload.

    This image reminds me of Modest Mouse’s Dramamine.

      Man I love that song, their first album doesn’t really get enough love compared to Good News or Lonesome Crowded West

        An album often looked overlooked but I could say my fav.

    It really looks like a painting to me.
