Cities and such

It's interesting to dissect different parts within cities. We rarely acknowledge certain factors of physical components and emotional components. These factors have a direct affect on us. The sky is a great example. If the sky is grey, our mood can become gloomy even on the happiest of days. If the sun is shining, we tend to feel a little brighter as well. The same goes for sidewalks. If the sidewalk is smooth the emotion felt is different than cracks in the sidewalks. Also, cracks have a symbolizing of their own. We usually associate cracks with being broken in negative ways such as cracked bottles or cracked hearts. What sometimes is nestled in those cracks can be interesting and anything from trash to roots. This also affects the perception of the pedestrian.
