Years - a photo on Flickriver

Years

            Last year and this year are combined as if they are pierced by a pole, according to a Haiku, a short Japanese poem by Kyoshi Takahama (1874-1959).

I love taking pictures of architecture with abstract elements. 
On one day while strolling around Shinjuku, I found this office building and couldn't resist taking 43 photos of it. 
The main subject of the photo is the illuminated object that looks like a futuristic spaceship or space station. 
For me, this photo represents the proof of our tiny but precious daily life amidst the vast universe. 
It's an absurd story that no one in the busy downtown district of Tokyo might talk about, but it's what makes me unique.
 I enjoy capturing the abstract features of architecture and expanding my imagination through photography.

A Happy New Year to everyone! 
Thank you for taking the time to view, comment on, and favourite my photo.
