Can't See the Forest For the Concrete
This is a freeway by Broadway that I walked under on my way home one day. It is a place that has very little foot traffic, is somewhat closed off from the vehicular traffic outside, and has bits of waste that are leftover from other humans who have visited the place, parked, or slept there. The fact that it was designed and built by humans did not have the effect of creating a presence of civilization. It feels like a wilderness; relatively untouched by humans (after its creation), unseen by most people, and slightly dangerous. The plants around and coming up from beneath the concrete are almost untamed.
