Iron Bones

I nearly walked straight past it. You’re on the South Bank, dodging cyclists, and there’s this railway bridge overhead that most people treat as a ceiling to hurry under.

I switched to black and white because the colour version was fighting the composition; stripping it back let the geometry do the talking.
