I used a 120mm focal length to compress this image of 9 A/C condensors that are lined up in the alley along the back of an apartment building.

Nine separate air conditioner units are lined up from the foreground to the horizon. The fan shields on multiple units are smashed down. A multitude of freon pipes runs down the right side connecting individual apartments with their respective AC unit.

A slender tower with a red brick shaft and a pointed, dark greenish metal roof stands in the center against a blue sky with light clouds. Directly above the tip of the tower hangs an elongated street lamp, and many thin wires cross diagonally through the image above and in front of it. At left, a grey building wall with dormers and windows extends into the frame, and at the bottom a red tiled roof and green foliage.
