Some of that stuff I like, but it has to be in the right context. I love the look of the Sydney Opera House, for example. The Swiss Re Tower, though, well, I don't think I'd like that in any context. It looks too much like a silo designed by Darth Vader or something. To me, it has a very ominous feeling. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
