You are walking down Payathai road, towards Samyarn. Looking to the West is another side of the road where your destination lies. Ahead of you is a stack of concrete blocks which would bring you up 6 metres above the ground. From a distant, you are wondering how this rotating walkway would lead you up to the floating platform. After a few steps, it moves 50 centimeters to the left. The steps lie on wall where openings were and openings move up to position on the ceiling. The sequence last until the very last step where a revolution is nicely completed. Along the way up, ascending view of the surrounding is observed through vertical stripes without concrete filled.

As you were approaching the bridge, it appeared to you as a mega structure blocking the view across the other side with giant pieces of reflected mirrors that reflect things behind you back into your sight again. Along the walkway overhead the roads, the attention is threw to the another end where the path to the destination lies. Appearing to be an enclosed space from the outside, the inside provides the view as far as your eyes can reach. The mirrors reflect all the surrounding view that it blocks outside to the inside, the eye level changes unpredictably as if you are on the back of a flying pigeon that is moving up and down . The things you see are banal but kind of extraordinary with the illusions that the bridge creates to the surrounding through the reflection. Upon your way down , on the left, there lies a narrow way down which constantly expands towards the ground. On the right is a slope of unequal steps with its shelter that seems to be its cut off piece. It depends on how you would want to lead your way up and down the way.

Noc, it's really promising!
Keep on writing and developing, adding details, in this very ethereal and evocative manner that you found.
Now you can imagine maybe pursuing this work of fiction - the bridge could be a bridge to something else than the other side of phaya thai road.... if you see what i mean.

English needs to be corrected! You should find help from someone, if necessary, I can help you with that - but i am only french...
