The Rooftop Experiment: Prelude to Toyropolis

The metropolis, a never ending sea of concrete and steel. The pinnacle of human civilization. Built to withstand powerful earthquakes, typhoon force winds, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, and intense UV rays. Each building houses bacteria, bugs, animals, people, families, and business. Every building is its own world, but connected to the every other one via electric, phone, internet, and sewage lines.  

When you stand above the metropolis simply imagining the water and sewage moving throughout it is mind boggling. Wait, really think about that. Look out at the picture below. How many toilets, sinks, gutters, drains, and pipes are out there. How about electrical lines? 

Do you see it? Arteries and veins. Stomach and digestive track. Lungs and noise. God built us in his image and now we build our cities in ours.  


 Do you see the silver Lamborghini Diablo in the intersection below?

I am not sure what it is about the picture below, but it actually makes me sick to my stomach to look at. Something about the angle of the shot makes my stomach turn.
