Oooh, that makes me very sad, Paul. I spent my very early childhood in that neigborhood and at that time you could still go into the tower. And there was no skyscraper behind it to ruin the view from the outside. The building behind it is hideous, and there is quite a bit of wonderful architecture in my home town. Hard for me to block out my opinion of the subject matter - but that being said, I think this doesn't quite work photographically - a bit too busy, unlike your recent gorgeous car shot (you know the one I like, the old car profile.) But I have to scroll on my 'puter to see the whole thing too. annsan
