far and away

you can appreciate how far this building is from where i live - i had to use the 300mm and this was the closest i could get.

buildings are the best subject for patterns if you're a city dweller. i had thought i should get licentious (no, not that licentious, the other one!) and do a third color selective shot as the middle of this building has red bricks and there was one unit with red curtains. but seeing that this will be on the very edge of the calendar, i thought i'd forgo the idea. however, if you look closely, there's a lady on the balcony staring out at the sunset perhaps that i couldn't see from my unit. can you see her?

i think we're doing free style for the rest of the month, non?

a ton of thanks, my friends, for your fabulous favs on little blue; know i appreciate them all.

might i entice you to join in and play tag for the tag challenge #150 that's going on right now.

[Nicole Campbell]

Very impressive, I would love to see the colour version as well

[Wendy]

This is wonderful. Yes - I do see her!
So many balconies all identical and the patterns they create!

[Taffy]

Love the repetition and almost sci-fi feel to this vertical community.

[Graeme Stevens]

boxes and boxes and boxes...of people

[Louise & Ken]

Wow! Do you wonder if the people feel they've lost their individual identity? That said, one has to appreciate that it's a big city with (likely) big rents and I'm sure they feel quite settled and at home.

[Henri Russell]

Yes, I can see her. Great repetitive lined and patterns.

@Weezilou - i think not, at least with rental buildings and that is evident with the colours and types of curtains and blinds you see from the outside. i think it's more the condo owners who would probably feel that way because most condo-managements have restrictions on what one can and cannot have on their windows and balconies, or even their front doors. thanks, my lady.

[Louise & Ken]

I hadn't thought of it like that, but I've heard people talk of such things and it wouldn't be my choice to be stifled in that fashion. Then again, if you wish to keep property values up and the overall look have a nice appearence, that's certainly a plus! Thanks for pointing that out!

[Diana]

An amazing image, there must be thousands of people living there!

[Helge Erik Storheim]

Super shot

[katy]

Incredible patterns and amazing abstract feel to this. I had to hunt for her but I found her. This is wonderful in black and white

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! Incredible patterns!

[Helen Jane]

This really drives home the uniformity of the building. I can see the dark figure on a balcony.

[Kathy]

So many windows!

[Richard Brown]

Very 'rear window' I like how it fills the frame :)

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Very cool so many people all jammed together.

[Chris Johnson]

So many squares and rectangles!! Compelling shot, perfect for black and white!

[Marnie]

I like this very much, great patterns.

[Jerome]

I do not want to live in one of these boxes. But the picture is excellent.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is an awesome shot! And why not save the selective color version for a rainy day when you don't feel like shooting. I bet I'd fav that version too.
