Picturesque travelogues

What matters to me, when taking photographs in the street, or while idling between meetings in an office building, is not at all that unique and unforgettable moment.
Instead, I want to frame stories, follow traces, and share a few visual obsessions. For these pages here below, my travelogues are zooming in on urban spaces, or more precisely, unintended urban sculptures, and purposefully cultivated urban gardens. Enjoy.

On the largest scale, this is what city governments and urban planners are all about, and all the public monuments leave little doubt on how important that governance is meant to be. But on street corners, behind fences, or in a bland hallway, the most stunning markers are set up, often unintentionally, to organize that space.
Here is my collection of such "Urban Sculptures" in Beijing, Guangzhou, Moscow and New York:
With more coming up.
Urban Gardens

Which got me into paying special attention to the incredible adaptations of the concept of the "garden" fitted into the framework of the city.
2 sets of pictures have resulted, one on "urban gardens" in general, the other on gardens in Chinese cities in particular.
