Reflections on a city underpass

Just who is Mayor of Tampa anyway?

Listen, I’ve already posted a “This Is Ron’s Florida” blog about Tampa’s splendid Riverwalk. But I had these striking images left over and couldn’t resist showing them off.

The Hillsborough River under glass.

An artist named Heidi Lippman created a series of kiln-fired laminated glass images along an otherwise sterile pedestrian walkway just below an extremely busy traffic freeway.

Concrete under glass.

What blew me away is how Lippman’s images reflect the city around it, and especially the heavy concrete pillars that keep the traffic above from crashing down on the people below.

All I’m sayin’ is…

Said it before. Say it again. Reality is sooo overrated.

…if Max Headroom was Mayor of Tampa…

…this is what the whole city would look like.

With both respect for…and apologies too…Heidi Lippman.
