Ingenuity that would otherwise go unnoticed

            The fourth Instruction for the Street Photography Now Project:
"Document some evidence of human ingenuity that would otherwise go unnoticed. Do it without including any humans in the picture" - Michael Wolf

I was hoping to spot some spontaneous/improvised ingenuity on the streets - but in our Western throwaway culture, that sort of 'problem solving' approach seems a lot less evident lately. I've settled for a shot that does show something largely unseen and unnoticed, and also shows evidence of human ingenuity - the underground carpark!
