I could seriously dedicate a blog to this subject alone, but for now, this second series will have to suffice.<br /><br />By the way, these posts are my personal favorite posts to write and compile, but they take weeks, even months ... so I cannot do them as frequently as I'd like.<br /><br />The following pieces are all beautiful and timeless. Both serving as a record of human technology, evolution and transportation as well as contemporary landscapes. The following works are glimpses of the world as it stands today, with freeways as 'escape routes' and overpasses as 'architecture'.<br /><br />Because the last post was so well-received I have tried to include as many as I could find- within reason of course, in this one. Some of the following paintings are available, some are not, but all are worth admiring.<br /><br /><bold><span style="font-weight: bold;">In the photorealism style</span>:</bold><br /><br />The Paintings of <a href="http://www.dannyhellerart.com/">Danny Heller</a>:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBRpAHS54xOIjA5T2qNzG3T-J91Sb4CGMSL2NJ7BqB5QMArm4Z0Xfl__P48Y8O0q_g8U5UUD6dwcSNmQZXZE4c7jwDNsx5ENfliiEj88F8bl-R7lnSsoDSxSosLs7FwJLpqeV6kw-yGoQY/s1600-h/Suburbia-Freeway_dannyheller.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157291705745126418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBRpAHS54xOIjA5T2qNzG3T-J91Sb4CGMSL2NJ7BqB5QMArm4Z0Xfl__P48Y8O0q_g8U5UUD6dwcSNmQZXZE4c7jwDNsx5ENfliiEj88F8bl-R7lnSsoDSxSosLs7FwJLpqeV6kw-yGoQY/s400/Suburbia-Freeway_dannyheller.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
