You'd be amazed at the artwork on some of them (considering the fact that they are gateways to sewers 'n' all).

It's one thing to do something for the love of it, and another to be doing it for other reasons. In writing, I think sometimes that translates into the work itself. Some books you can almost feel the author's passion--whether quiet or not.Danyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288740773931647645.post-75331061638592820952010-03-05T10:42:21.446-05:002010-03-05T10:42:21.446-05:00I LOVE those pictures!

It's easy to just gloss over those little details and lump everything together, even streetlights into one big group.
