{291/365} something about this city

something about this city that i will always admire

even when i hate it

even though i know the time has come for me to move on

something about the ugly is awful pretty

something about the noise sometimes sounds alright

mismatched, dinged & scratched,

stinky, kinky,

exhausting, relentless

accosting, expensive

agressive, outrageous

ecclectic, contagious.

something about this city lives in me

something, always something to turn your head and see.

30 Songs in 30 Days (17)

In the City, by the Eagles

Somewhere out there on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

I know there must be something better

But theres nowhere else in sight

Its survival in the city

When you live from day to day

City streets dont have much pity

When youre down, thats where youll stay

In the city, oh, oh.

In the city

 

I was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows, and life aint very pretty

No ones there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon

Faraway from the neon sky

I know there must be something better

And I cant stay another night

In the city, oh, oh.

In the city

I had no idea how to process this photo. So I didn't really -- just a few very minor adjustments. Feel free to download and give it a go. I'd love to see what others come up with. I really just like the scene.
