Star trails

Jamie says: “I pass over this bridge regularly and one day it occurred to me that this stretch of the M1 runs north to south. This provided the opportunity to incorporate the stars’ apparent rotation around Polaris as Earth spins on its axis, along with the movement of people on our planet. It shows Earth and humanity all in motion.”
