  3. Would telling you that the buildings are beautiful in themselves, but that the LIGHTING makes the photos SPECTACULAR & covetable, be stating the obvious??
    Most excellent photography. You really used the moment to the best advantage.

  4. I do love the turrets! Wish we could have them here. What is their purpose?

  5. I agree, the angle of light makes the buildings spectacular; the second photo with the low dark clouds and bit of blue sky is especially nice. The last one - turrets and turrets, to the horizon! A "turretists" dream world!

  8. Oh what a dramatic sky, perfect for Wagner. The last shot is particularly interesting, with the turrets almost lost in the sea of rooftops.

  19. That zoom lens does provide a nicely compressed view of things. I like that.

  22. Is the sky in the first photo real? Looks like it could be a scene in Batman or something mysterious. Love the way you shot the building :)
