Super pov,great image,Allen! #989651Carolyn M. Fletcher August 31, 2008
I used to work on the 25th floor (about halfway up) in the '70s..I'll never forget when we had a bomb threat (the FBI was just above us and this was during the Vietnam War) and they made us walk down. You never realize the muscles you don't use much until you have to walk down that many stairs. None of us could hardly walk the next day we were so sore. They also filmed a few movies with scenes in the building.(Dirty Harry and The Towering Inferno) so we got to see a movie star now and then. We had a great view, too. Interesting time and place to work. #6392254Debra Booth August 31, 2008

I rather think that if you found "elements of design" in the encyclopedia, this would be the illustrative photo they'd have to use. #6402698Donna La Mattino Pagakis September 07, 2008
Outstanding Allen, superb contrasts and design elements! #6425194Lorri Shane September 08, 2008
