Our world

 
The Martyrs' Memorial at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' square) aka Flora fountain.

Ref Wiki: Hutatma Chowk is located in the busy financial district of South Mumbai. It derives its present name from an incident in 1960 when a peaceful demonstration by the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti (United Maharashtra Committee) was fired upon by the police resulting in 105 deaths. The incident was part of ongoing struggles of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti, amongst others, for the creation of the State of Maharashtra. The shooting proved to be a major impetus for the creation of Maharashtra on May 1, 1960.

    Is the camera at an angle, or are the structures? I just have this feeling that the whole world is sliding off the edge of my desk...
    It is a cool photo!
