Rust Belt vistas—Majestic visions

“This is a view looking south on Morris Street just south of Toledo’s Downtown in the Warehouse District. I liked how the street faded away as it receded into the overcast morning. The tower takes on an almost iconic stature above the street.” —Tony Bianco, on “South Morris at Clayton – Toledo”
