Poor little green man Photo

Photographer’s Note

A piece of sculpture in the middle of a roundabout in London, Docklands. The piece is made entirely of traffic lights which flick randomly on and off. The title refers to the green man lit in the middle surrounded by all the lights, he probably doesnt know whether hes coming or going!

Nice shot, it does really well represent the abomination of city traffic. I like that you framed it tight, it r eally shows that you can't get away from these traffic lights. I am a little dispapointed that it's a scultpure, before reading your note I thought you had found this jam of lights on a real city corner. Wouldn't be surprised at all.

Very well seen – very interesting shot. I like also the symbolism. I posted my version to WS...

Great shot - I think you should have tried to pass it off as a real junction. We're not far off this in Holland!

Great picture of great piece of art (what's the Artist name). But I do not agree with Papagolf21, to me this a pedestrian nightmare and could very well illustrate a "Reclaim the street" slogan ;-)
