Emblematic of the USA’s decaying infrastructure … which in turn is emblematic of the triumph of religious, ideological and market fundamentalism in the American psyche.
Thanks so much Chris–it’s an interesting structure–a looping pedestrian walk that crosses a railroad track and the campus drive. All the times I’ve been to Madison and I’ve never seen that!

Nice framing and use of light to emphasize the angles. Is this near Helen White Hall on the campus?

Nice photo but it reminds me of a prison watch post. Possibly it’s just that I’ve spent too much time in jails and prisons.

It’s a powerful composition, the diagonal thrust against the blue sky, the upright pillar, the topmost framing curve, the dance of the clouds …
but the surveilling lamp is disconcerting, the ridges of rust along all the edges disturbing, and the curtain of rust in the corner alarming.

This is as close to architecture as I have at hand. https://www.flickr.com/photos/143137002@N06/41823961825/in/dateposted-public/
