23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Blue Spine
A study of form and color at the massive wheat silos in Mashhad, Iran. The image captures the striking visual contrast between the rough, earth-toned concrete textures and the vibrant blue zigzag of the emergency staircase. It highlights how functional industrial architecture can unintentionally create a powerful geometric composition.
