The built environment is the antithesis of nature—it’s all straight lines, cardinal points, vanishing points, and how these things shift and interplay with the effects of perspective and parallax. Some photographers have turned the visual aspects of architecture into an descriptive artform, and there’s plenty in the world to work with. I took this p=shot on the 10th of September, 2009, in the Festival Plaza area, behind Parliament House Adelaide, South Australia,. This area has been extensively redeveloped since, with whole new buildings occupying what used to be public space, so the available views have changed a lot. This is an interesting study in geometries, on a day when the lighting conditions were not generating harsh shadows.
