Lines Across the Landscape

I have been walking about this city ruled by the automobile, getting a worms eye view of the architecture, eventually to stand in the Dark Star of Bladerunner, the Bradbury Building, with it's construction in 1893 fittingly influenced by the 1878 Utopian book "Looking Backward".
Vertical lines, horizontal lines, glass lines, reflected lines, coloured lines. At night, so light, so bright.

In counterpoint to this linear wonderland of construction, I watched a glorious animated short film by Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima - "City Glow". Watch this when you can!

Oh my straining neck too vertigo,
straight and tall the towers grow,
vanity doth scrape the sky so,
to stand above in awe of those below.
