I like it that you are giving an image to your critisisms of recent urban development. This is a real good dull image. Difficult to do if one is looking for it.

Looks very familiar (unfortunately). Tilt slab buildings only look good at night while under construction.

You've captured the monotony and soullessness of this kind of development. Good shot.

Reminded me for a moment of just down the road. Could be anywhere. Unfortunately it's everywhere.

Indeed, it could be anywhere, and it is everywhere. But it is strangely captivating, makes you want to work out where it is. Prices in $, driving on the left, English signs, and a Citroen with what looks like a Belgian plate... And such a simple image!

I know where this is. Near where my parents live. I'm looking forward to being with them shortly. The Citroen has a NZ plate.
