:icondpressedsoul:
Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere.
(Paul Auster, The New York Trilogy - City of Glass)

Title inspired by Katatonia's song "Inside the City of Glass".

Single photo, texture and edit by Florian Schmidt. No manipulation.

Fotografieren ist dort übrigens verboten, wie mir ein Wachmann kurz nachdem ich dieses Foto gemacht hatte freundlich aber bestimmt mitteilte. ;)

Vielen Dank, dass Du darauf eingehst - ich finde auch, dass es einen schönen und strengen Kontrast zu dem Durcheinander im Hintergrund bildet. :)
