I'm constantly on the look out for different views of our city. In This case, I was on the roof of the Peninsula to capture photographs of downtown during 4th of July. Before leaving, I had to check out the other side of the looking platform, which held this interesting view of I-95 and looked like ribbons of light streaming through the city. A version of this photo now is a large wallpaper when people entering the ticketing office of the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center, which is a huge honor for me. It shows that always looking for different angles can be appreciated! 

Standing atop the Peninsula on that memorable 4th of July, my camera in hand, I embarked on a visual journey to capture the essence of downtown Jacksonville. As I gazed over the cityscape, I discovered a captivating perspective of I-95, resembling ribbons of light gracefully streaming through the urban landscape.

The view, with its unique play of lights and shadows, held an irresistible charm. It wasn't just a photograph; it was a testament to the beauty that emerges when one ventures beyond the ordinary. Before leaving the rooftop, I couldn't resist exploring the other side of the lookout platform, and there it was—a composition that spoke volumes about the dynamism and energy of the city.

Little did I know that this particular photograph would find a special place in the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center. Seeing it transformed into a large wallpaper in the ticketing office is an immense honor and a validation of the belief that always seeking different angles can be truly appreciated.

As people enter the transportation center, the photograph offers a visual narrative—a story told through the interplay of light and architecture, a celebration of Jacksonville's urban spirit. It's a reminder that the quest for unique perspectives enriches not only personal experiences but also contributes to the collective visual tapestry of a city.

May this photograph continue to inspire curiosity, appreciation, and a sense of wonder for all those who encounter it. It stands as a symbol of the beauty that unfolds when one looks beyond the expected and seeks the extraordinary in the everyday.
