I’m taking a break from anime backgrounds for a while (stop the presses!) for this photo taken of the Dequindre Cut in Detroit of all places!
The Dequindre Cut is a below-grade pathway, formerly a Grand Trunk Western Railroad line located on the east side of Detroit, Michigan just west of St. Aubin Street. Much of the Cut has been converted to a greenway; the colorful graffiti along the pathway has been left in place.
I found it while doing research on the automotive industry, and I was spellbound by it for some deeply weird reason. Maybe it’s the forced perspective, or the colours, or the way the concrete frames the monitor around the edges, or something. I don’t know, I’m not a visual designer or a pro photographer.
Credit goes to Andrew Jameson, if he had a link on the photo page for me to plug, I’d put it here.
It feels like it was done painstakingly in Paint. Or actually painted. It’s very vibrant.
Wow you’re right! It almost doesn’t look real, more like a painting than a photo.
