EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene at Oxford Circus in London, as traffic gracefully crosses over the new diagonal crossing. Taken on November 2,2009, this snapshot showcases a revolutionary design that was inspired by Tokyo's famous Shibuya crossing. With an investment of £5 million ($8.2 million), this innovative addition to the city's transport infrastructure has transformed pedestrian mobility. In this vibrant image, we witness the harmonious coexistence of vehicles and pedestrians as they navigate through this groundbreaking intersection. The diagonal crossing allows people to cross from one corner to another diagonally, providing them with greater convenience and efficiency in their daily commutes. Photographer Stefan Wermuth skillfully captures the energy and dynamism of this urban landscape. The composition highlights both the architectural beauty of surrounding buildings and the constant movement that characterizes city life. As cars zoom past each other on intersecting paths, pedestrians confidently stride across multiple lanes simultaneously - a testament to human adaptability amidst modern transportation challenges. Wermuth's lens encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents progress and innovation within Britain's transport system. This photograph serves as a reminder that cities are ever-evolving entities where creativity meets functionality for improved urban living experiences.
