I don't often post architectural photos. Perhaps that's because I tend to concentrate on other stuff, or perhaps it's because I mostly suck at it, but today I'm breaking with tradition.
This is my favourite group of buildings in Toronto, The Toronto-Dominion Centre, designed by noted modernist Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (his name was just Ludwig Mies; he added the van der Rohe to make it sound better). His buildings dot (among other places) New York (the Seagram Building)) and Chicago (IBM Tower and many others): he virtually defined the "International Style" of architecture. When I was a courier on "stand by" (between calls) I'd lie on my back on a sunny day and watch the changing shadows and reflections on these beautiful buildings. When I was by there the other day, the sun, reflections and shadows looked particularly alluring: http://tinyurl.com/3v2tkb http://bp0.blogger.com/_EaTEtfR4WJw/R_tlMqIJ-YI/AAAAAAAAByo/LMgz1LThvaI/s1600-h/apr_08_08+006.jpg Comments welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
