Gary, thanks so much for featuring my shot of that wall in New West, and even more so for the history behind it. I was driving down that road and actually shouted “STOP!” to the driver, got out, and started taking pictures of the bright coloured walls. This shot seemed like an optical illusion, the way I framed the shot, to me at least, made it hard to see if it was a corner protruding outwards or caving inwards.

Anyways, thanks again :)

My pleasure Victoria!

Because of the ‘illusion’ reference in your title I had to find the building on satellite maps to make sure you didn’t fool me by ‘constructing’ this in photoshop – and that’s when I learned about the Dupont Block and it’s history.

I’m glad you had the driver stop the car, the angle of light is amazing and I’m sure, fleeting.

Thanks for contributing to the pool!
