Ummm, after I catch my breath and my unbuckle my kness....(major fear of heights) Steve, this is an amazing image! The lighting and reflections from the windows is totally awesome; from a distance it is as if someone took a paint brush and in a curved downward sweeping strokes, added a touch of 'glow'! The great 'lines' and perspective of the 'skywalkers' prove this to be an amazingly huge but beautiful building! So...where and what is this?? #676571Dianna Hauf June 19, 2007
That would be knees, and I might add the coloring of this image is beautiful as well! ;) #4413374Steve M. Harrington June 19, 2007
Thank you so much, Dianna. I too have a fear of heights, but have been enticed to overcome it when confronted by great beauty like the Rockies. I think I will leave this building to the pair on the scaffolding. It is either in Hong Kong or Boston, to narrow it down for you. :) I am so disorganized!!Patrick Rouzes June 19, 2007
Wow, Steve! This image makes my head spin also. Very realistic and impressive work here!!! #4413434Steve M. Harrington June 19, 2007
Thank you, Patrick. It is heady stuff, isn't it? :)Mitch Spence June 19, 2007
You know what the scaffolding looked like at first to me? The wings of a biplane--especially because of the reflections of the sky. But then, of course, one would have to figure out why there were all those lines in the sky. This sort of delayed reaction is, I think, what makes the image so fascinating. #4414197Shannon O.

This shot makes you looks twice and figure it out; it looks like so many things, and that's what makes a remarkable photograph. As Dianna said, it reminds me of the strokes of a paintbrush... some heavenly colored paint, too. Those colors and the abstract but simple pattern, its all just incredible. Amazing work, Steve. #4414332Steve M. Harrington June 19, 2007

Thank you all very much. Getting the Nikon Coolscan V has opened a new world of detail in my thousands of slides. Here is a closer view of what is available in the scan. Cropping is now an artistic decision rather than a compromise. :)Mary Clarke July 05, 2007
