Concrete and parking garages
posted by Paul
Do you ever stop to think about the amount of concrete above your head when you step out of your car in a parking garage? I certainly wouldn't want to be here during some kind of seismic event.At this time of the evening this parking garage is pretty empty, although during week days it's filled up with colleagues' cars. Only a few vehicles remain after hours, belonging to very committed workers trying to catch up on things undone. On September evenings like this one, there's an icy wind that rushes among the cold concrete pillars, almost pushing you along, and encouraging laggers to vacate the building and head on home to their families.

Love the symmetry of this shot!
Thanks jeanette - the lines are cool, don't you think it looks a little eerie?
I have always had a soft-spot for vacated underground lots.
Being an ex-car-enthusiast, some of the best photo shoots I've seen of SA's Car Scene come right from under all those tons of cement. Get going with that burn-tool, it works wonders down there ;)
@chris - thanks for the time - I know my way around PS, but I'm by no means a fundi. I'll have to experiment. Thanks!
A few months ago I had an engineer from Tanzania on one of the courses I was presenting. We took him out to the Waterfront one evening so that he could see a bit of the touristy stuff before returning home, and as we got out of the car and walked through the parking garage, he commented on a similar thing, and on the structural. Until that moment, I had never given it a thought!
Drat, I hate the fact that I can't edit stupid sentences I've typed once I've clicked PUBLISH!
where is this garage? We would like to use it for a film shoot.
