I love that! It makes me want to make up little stories about the different squares, little vignettes, small dramas, glimpses into a day (or a night) in people's lives.

It really does need to be the opening graphic for a movie like that.

Can I do the American thing?

JUMP JUMP!

BTW, congrats on Midnight Oil now running your country, I am hoping REM runs ours

Circle gets the square.

Is our Cissy a bit of a voyeur????

Cissy Strutt said...

pheebs: Exactly so.

malach: How can we sleep when our beds are burning?

atlas: Always apt.

catalyst: Indeed. Why do you ask?

What a wonderful photo. It reminds me a bit of walking by Lincoln Center in New York at dusk as everyone was arriving for the night's performance. The building has glass walls, so you can see everyone walking up the corridors and standing, looking out. Very beautiful.

Dyou live in th penitentiary, or were you just passin through?

Cissy Strutt said...

colonel: There's something wonderfully melancholic about being in the dark looking in to a lit place full of people. (One of the duets on my opera is about that, I've just realised).

joey: I was on my roof shooting away from the Harbour on NYE. These people are gathering to watch the fireworks.

I once saw a view like that out of a rear window...

How is that broken leg?

here today, gone tomorrow said...

Lovely, mysterious, enigmatic. I want to know all the stories.

Sara Sue said...

The Reverend stole my line! Of course thinking about "Rear Window" makes me fantasize about Grace Kelly.

Lovely shot inspiring lovely fantasies! Thank you, Kindred.

Sara Sue said...

Just how many stories tall is this place??

Cissy Strutt said...

hereT: You have caught the mood exactly.

sara sue: That dress for the 21 dinner - perfection.

I'll go up on the roof tomorrow and count. Of course, the dark night makes the mood - during the day it's just an ugly modern building.

Whenever I see people through their windows, I like to imagine what their lives are like.

I am a peeper.

chickie: But of course you are, dear woman.
