A high contrast, black and white photograph framed within a thin white border. Centered in the midground, a modern glass paneled bus shelter stands brightly illuminated by low angle sunlight, making its translucent frosted panes glow against the shadows. Faint graffiti tag lettering is visible on the central rear panel of the shelter. The background is dominated by the dark silhouettes of residential buildings and trees against a clear sky. In the deep shadow of the foreground, a paved road stretches horizontally, fronted by grass and three dark wooden bollards.

Thanks Colin - I've been trying for years to get a worthwhile photo of the sculpture so I am quite chuffed now.
