Face West

Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven’t before

R.E.M. Stand

Today’s Daily Create said to “Look West, young man!”

So I stopped by the observation deck at the Inclined Plane to take a photo.

There’s not much of a view in that direction, although I suppose a better photographer could get more out of what is there. Looking in northerly directions is better. You can see the city, the lights, the rivers, the trains, the long-dead steel mills, and on days like today, you can see it all enveloped in fog and mist.

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven’t before

I kinda like the NNE view better.

There are more lights in that direction. Take it away, REM:
