I took this picture in an industrial estate in Hiroshima. As I descended from a pedestrian overpass, I noticed that the pavement had been freshly tarred, painted, and applied with yellow ridges for the visually impaired.
The freshness of the applications and the vivid colours and textures immediately lent themselves to memorable close-up photography, and this was the result, somehow reminiscent of a layer cake or rock sediments.
Of course, I got funny looks from passersby who most likely wondered what a foreigner was doing in a particularly ugly part of town pointing a large camera at the ground…
