One of my early photo teachers, Jerry Liebling, said that fear was a primary motive in photography -- fear of loss, fear of revelation, fear of banishment or meaninglessness. I walked past this hoodie-wearing person staring fixedly at the new Twins Stadium, and had to retrace my steps to take this shot. I knew the subject was some kind of fear, maybe mine, maybe yours.
Not incidentally, this is one of the few skyways that encourage you to sit and stare, however fixedly, at anything.
