I am joining Kathy from You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out for Song-Ography – combine song and picture together.
This week’s prompt is: “Look Out Any Window” by Bruce Hornsby
Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
See what’s going on in the world around you
Look out, look out for the big boys
Telling you everything they’re gonna do
Look out, look out for the fat cat builder man
Turning this into a wasteland
Look out, look out for the back room boys
That say the smokw is gonna blow away
Look out, look out for the men who say it’s okay
Sitting in a building far away
P.S. This is a brief pic story about I-85/I-485 Interchange in northeast Charlotte which is modified to so-called a turbine interchange. This turbine interchange utilizes smaller, single-span bridges, smaller columns and flatter roadway profiles but took down all neighborhoods, llama farm, and a lot of forest.

Your images are so well reflected in the lyrics or perhaps the other way around. Sadly often progress requires destruction – a difficult balance.
Well you nailed the lyrics with these shots of the road construction. I hate to see the loss of such beautiful trees.
Looks like a lot is going on
That looks really sad without the tree.
Wow…such an intense dissection of the song…brought to bitter reality through your photos. Well–captured.
yeah, it’s sad; the forest is almost gone, but we have IKEA too :)
Yes, I always feel that construction is a mainstay of what I see around me. Some of good, and some of it bad. I’m always saddened by the trees being taken down for new retail.
Well, this is sad. And also fits the song perfectly. I hope you have other areas around you that are still more rural. I’ve driven through Virginia and love visiting there. And the trees and countryside are so beautiful in my memory.
Wow…you are living the lyrics of the song! Appropriate lyrics for your photographic story here. Thanks for joining in on Song-ography!
