Gimme Shelter

Posted by Marcah (Quincy, United States) on 3 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Oh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

~Rolling Stones

The opposition between the text and the image is powerful - love that, and the quiet set you propose here with that "secure" light and lovely kiosk. Goodnight, M*
