Concrete and sky

A pale concrete facade, three circular openings, and the sky beyond. Scale found in a small repeating detail.

Three small interruptions.

The facade fills most of the frame. Three dark openings interrupt the pale surface, giving the eye a measure of scale. The low viewpoint turns the wall into a strong diagonal.

The photograph is shown complete here. In the collection, a shorter crop brings the openings closer to the center; inspection always returns to the original composition.
