You can never really realize those giants that surround you if you don't look up once in a while.

Excellent photo. We really get an idea of how big the towers are from the size of the people.

they are massive blots on the landscape in some ways, but we can't do without them, and your shot makes them look really impressive.

Very nicely done. I always think you miss half the world if you don't look up and down.

I like the contrast between the giant technostructure and the tiny couple of the species that constructed it, wonderful picture!
