That is an incredible structure. I am surprised to think this, but I possibly prefer your shot which combines the arcitectural with your photobuddies in the foreground. This is amazing, but also vast and impersonal.
@helenhall I think your observation is right on the nail. I usually do not like having people in the scene, but in this case, I think Michael/Junko really soften the harsh architectural lines. Some of the others I took that have people in it (tiny ones on the main floor) also help to give the scene life.
