Curvaceous by northy

Curvaceous

These are the Marilyn Monroe towers in Mississauga (just west of Toronto)... They're pretty iconic... and quite Seussical ;p

This is for architecture week for the flash-o-red theme set by @olivetreeann - a month of black and white with a spot of red on the 14th...

I took this mid afternoon - the sky was a glorious blue... came out wonderfully black when nik-ified...

You learn something new everyday! Well, for me it's every other day, but gosh! I had never seen these towers before. Thank you northy for educating me today. How did you blacken out the sky? What a tremendous shot.
February 10th, 2013  
what a FAVulously sexy architectural shape bldg.....perfect for the challenge !!!:)
February 10th, 2013  
Amazing shot -- you should submit this to Wikipedia because it's certainly more interesting than the one they have up!
February 10th, 2013  
fav!! these are so cool!!
February 10th, 2013  
@adamj tx Adam! the sky came out a brilliant deep blue... nik pretty much saw it as black and i boosted contrast a bit to make some of it more true black (left side ended up being darker than right side)
February 10th, 2013  
@jyokota tx Junko... there are a gazillion images of these towers on the web... i expect wik was looking for something mundane ;p
February 10th, 2013  
Very cool building--first time I've seen a photo of it.
February 10th, 2013  
Wonderful buildings. Great image. If I didn't know better, this could be a close up macro shot of some spiral toy. The ambiguity is intriguing.
February 10th, 2013  
@frankhymus tx Frank... those buildings really are quite surreal :)
February 10th, 2013  
Very cool - love the light bouncing off the buildings - looks great against the black!
