Ah...a reflection of canary wharf, captured on the surface of some granite. One has to focus 'beyond' the surface, to the origin of the image. As such, it is clearly genius. I demand £5!
Through the Scraper Bike Movement, we are taking Oakland youth culture or "hyphy" culture and using it for more positive public action. We are known for popularizing colorful decorated bicycles called "Scraper Bikes" that uphold the artistic and individual creativity of our youth here in Oakland. This past summer, we hosted a "Bike For Life" event calling out all of the "Scraper Bikes" in Oakland to ride around Lake Merritt. Through this and other events, we want to bring attention to the issue and solutions of street violence in Oakland.
The most interesting thing about the scrapers is that at any point in time on any given day they are steadily crawling up the hill, appearing from nowhere and disappearing over the horizon. I have never seen one get down. If this were a sci-fi novel, this would be part of a null-space transportation operation, which by someone's oversight was made partly visible in our dimension.
