 I may have let my inner child play play a little too long in the conceptual sandbox...but let's see.

Three exposures used. All from within a few blocks of each other in downtown College Station. One is from the engineering school at Texas A&M University--a real architectural marvel. Another is a straight-up view of a finished luxury apartment/condo complex with a construction crane doing work on a new complex next to it. And the most prominent image is of a construction worker standing in the middle of concrete pillars on an active job site for yet another high-rise residential complex in the making.

They say in college towns and most developing urban areas there are really only two seasons: Winter and Construction. Here in Texas, and in certain locales, I don't even think we get Winter.

I really like this - I think I am particularly drawn to the tension created by the interplay of the strong verticals with the diagonals.
