Just around the corner from the battered pay phone, the bricklayers and electricians battled it out for victory in the couldn’t give a damn Olympics.

And yet…

Despite the wavy mortar and wiring that would frighten both Zeus and Thor, there’s an aesthetic to this scene that I can’t ignore.

It’s another example in a long line of them that reminds us of the beauty that lurks in dusty, shadowy, forgotten corners of the big city.

Beauty was never the intention of those who built this place, but no one ever said beauty had to be intentional.
