I believe this image best reflects the movement of the new topographic in the way it displays an overcrowded array of lights from the urbanised area behind the fence. I have purposely used the fence to convey a sense of imprisonment that us humans have created by the building of these colossal structures that look down upon us. This image best relates to how our natural beauty has been ruined by all the man made features such as the lights which are a key element to this photograph. Where as this place would have once been a peaceful and tranquil environment with little buildings, it now is an energetic and stress prone environment. This links to the New Topographic movement taking over from the Romanticism movement. It shows how quickly things can change for better or for worse.
