Designed Not to Wobble

I find this building fascinating. As it was going up, I wondered how nerve wracking it would be to live or work above such a thin base. The whole area changes color at different times of day and weather conditions.

Wow, though I am sure it was properly engineered, I couldn't do it! There is a newish building near my son sinking a foot a year and another one here that is sinking.

Wonderful color!

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible picture and perspective.

[Lynda McG]

Love your crop - it does look rather scarey though! Hope they worked it out properly! Fav

[Marnie]

I'm with you re the building. But the photo is terrific with all those lines and shapes. I like the way you've captured a horizontal slice of the architecture.

[Joan Robillard]

No thanks

[Lyn Todd]

the part on the right really looks like a piano keyboard! Interesting building - not sure I would choose to live there though!

[Leon Buijs]

Great composition with the frame completely filled with all these interesting buildings, lines and reflections. Lovely capture

[sally agnew]

Love this image :)

I remember seeing this building last year when we were on the River tour and thinking WOW how will that work? It looks amazing and this image is gorgeous with all the lovely colour tones. Great to see all the glossy new buildings with that older one peeping through under the wedge. Such great extremes of architecture. Love it!! Fav!

could look at this for a very long time and see something new

[Francoise]

echoing someone's comment up there: it's as though someone took a knife and sliced through a cake.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great lines and shapes and processing. Fav!

@pamknowler It really was interesting watching this one being built. It looks sturdier now than it did at the beginning, but is one of the oddest architectural examples in the city, I think!

Will become an icon, like the Transamerica building in SF. I see all sorts of photographic potential in this. Looking forward to more angles, and perspectives.

[carol white]

Great lines and processing. Fav!! 😀

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- that shot really plays tricks with the eyes thanks to all those windows and reflections! It took me a moment to figure out which building you were talking about! Great shot!

[Lynne]

Magnificent shot and what a great architecture image

[Jerome]

love the tones

[Tony]

Impressed by your city buildings.

[Jane Pittenger]

Beautiful lighting

[Louise & Ken]

What a gorgeous architectural shot! ...OMG...I kept trying to figure which had a small base! I was seeing it all as placements of different buildings until I saw the central image on that tiny base! NOT for the faint of heart!!!

[Richard Sayer]

Impressive architecture - I always wonder if these buildings are constructed with a built-in demolition plan for the future as blowing them up is obviously not an option.

[Taffy]

@Weezilou I'm sure it's a lot safer than it looks, but it definitely conveys a wow factor when you see it.

You are an excellent photographer, Taffy, and it's easy to spot your work without seeing the name. I'm so glad you are including some color shots! I know I'm weird but I'm just not into B&W. FAV

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh looks like a fun place for photos - very nice

[tony gig]

Grand capture...fav
