"no one" -> few others :-). Maybe not as few as we may imagine. Mayhaps the intersection of engineer and photographer produces such results more often than we are aware. Different / similar: I was unaware of the well recognised peculiarity labelled "Street photography" for many decades. It was nice to find that other share my fascination with such (one of a range of photographic fascinations) and my wife has been more understanding of this peculiarity since she discovered the label in some publication of suitably high repute :-). Maybe I should make an album of my out-takes :-) Prague manhole cover. Xian power wiring. Beijing bridges. Shanghai Maglev (430 kph !!!!!!!!!!) Yogyakarta concrete underground tunnels. Scottish castle abandoned dungeons. Collapsed Welsh spiral staircases Walls, roads, paths, wiring , ... everywhere. Photos of pointless rubbish? Just ask my wife - she'll tell you :-).
