Rising Up From The Ruins

So this one of the new office towers downtown. The two brick buildings were torn down but they preserved the facades of each one

[Sharon]

Love the mix of old and new

[Dinah Pinkston]

Wonderful contrast of the new with the old, and I like the reflections in the tall windows!

[Louise & Ken]

I love what they did here, Brian! What a brilliant idea!

[Valerie Chesney]

Great to have kept the facades. They blend well with the new....love the reflections.

[Anita Campbell]

How interesting that they preserved the facades and incorporated them into the new building Good idea.

[Sharon]

What a great idea on someones part - works beautifully.

[alia_801]

It makes for a striking combination!

[Wendy]

A great idea to preserve the facades - it makes for a nice contrast.

[Lou Ann]

Isn't this amazing, old and new - as one!

[Merrelyn]

Nice one

[wendy frost]

A great idea works well.

[gloria jones]

Great shot and reflection

[Henri Russell]

Great contrast in architecture. Great reflection in the new building.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I really like the reflections. It's so nice to see the old and new together.

[Lynne]

Wonderful shot

[Karly]

What a wonderful idea - I have never seen this done before.

[Claude Trew]

Old and New, perfect partners, love the reflections in the modern part.

[Margaret Brown]

[Margo Sayer]

VML The respect for what has gone before

[amyK]

Like your perspective

[Chris Johnson]

SO neat how they preserved the facades! Awesome contrast!!

[Sandy]

I like your POV and reflections. If they preserved the facade of the brick buildings, did they build something new using them, or is it just a hollow structure now?

[Daisy Miller]

Cool shot. I like how the old facade was saved.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice capture ...

[leggzy]

That's great that they kept the original facade. Fab shot

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture and perspective.

[MB]

That is cool!. Love the reflections.

[Jane Pittenger]

What an amazing interplay

[Tom]

Wonderful, great reflections

[Tony]

Lovely way to preserve the 'look' of the old city yet build a modern structure.

[Gayle]

Terrific shot, Brian! Awesome POV! :-)
