"City sky"

Under these structures of old cement scarred by time, a ray of blue sky like a tear of the Gods, like a hope of a future return of nature.

Passing under these impressive structures of the Turcot interchanges in Montreal, we discover the wear and tear of time, the effects of calcium and winter abrasives. Only forty years of use, they have now been replaced by new ones. A single ray of blue sky pierces the hardness of this cement, between purity and dirt. The City and Life, for some the beginning of the end, and for others the beginning of hunger.
