​Endless rows of strictly governed vegetation extended for miles. Countless vinifera berries, sheltered by leaves, would wait till harvest to see the entirety of the sun.

​Looking at history through a frame of the past, what is the progress you see? What can be observed as important to society through time?

Gridded lights illuminated the rough marble red pavement. The steps were the  only light source for the plaza in the darkness of the night.

Where the realm of man met the sea, the structures began to crumble. Undisturbed by the surrounding decay, the citizens enjoyed the sand and sea.

Down to the end of the walkway, the stairway led all the way down to where sand once met the foam. Now abandoned and gripped by decay, the walkway led directly to a long drop to the surf.

The light in the sky receded as the city began to wind down for the evening to set in. A lone branch hung down towards the piers hoping it could reach the horizon, but came just short of its goal.

Though the trees lining the path were lit, the path itself stretched into a dark oblivion. Each wooded plant that would shade the ground during the day now lit from underneath to guide travelers along the trail.

Over the cubed terraces of the fountain the water flowed endlessly. The cascades blended with one another over the edge of each level undisturbed by the humanity that built it.

The small crevasse revealed a floor of tile ringed like rays of sunshine compared to the cold dark concrete structure above. The golden light of the railing did its best to blend with the floor below, so as not to interrupt the intricate pattern it sat in front of.

A long pathway extended out into the frigid waters from a city glittering with activity. It seemed almost a façade of inconsistent buildings thrown together to give the illusion of a highly populated city on the waterfront.

A whole world lay beneath and the only light those in this subterranean world ever see would come from the conical windows. Within the sun filtered its way to the inhabitants and gave a welcome connection to the outside world.

Lit only by the dimming glow of the setting sun, the diode driven lamps looked down upon the empty field. They seemed top have no purpose to come alive without the a human presence.

Reflected in the dented concave mirror, the tower was silhouetted against a lightly clouded blue sky. Water pooled and ran past the discarded flatware, far from a true home in the gutter.

The lighted tower stood high atop the peak and was seen miles away from its position. The sky swallowed the ground upon which it was perched, yet it couldn't obscure the spire.
