Crossing Over Photo

Photographer’s Note

La Quinta Centro Comercial in downtown Bucaramanga.

The shopping centres are linked by tunnels which cross the road above the traffic.

I was struck by the interesting geometry and other-worldly feel to the open air, sheletered tunnels. I also liked the combination of colours from the red brick and the sky blues. So I stopped to take this picture.

Bucaramanga is a city of a little over 1 million people and the capital of the Santander province of Colombia.

You're right, geometry is very attractive in this image. And the colours too, with a nice contrast between red and blue.
The perspective also i s very good.
If you could take a shot without the people, the imege would have been again more and more impressive.
Well done!!

Hi Peter, very nice pic. You need a good photographic eye to see this.
Regarding the people I would prefer just one or two of them at the end of the tunnel and leaving the "scene". The two guys who are looking at you are a little bit "distracting" IMHO, but obviously there are some elements of the composition that you can not control...
Thanks for including my pic in the abstract theme. Best regards.
