One Night Stand - Architecture
Had to go tho the Cape Town International airport today. Why is it that airport building are really ugly? The air ducts reminded me of aeroplane engines!

Great composition. You've got the lines, textures, reflections all working for you in this one.

Great shot, Sally! I can certainly see the plane engines. Great reflections as well!

[Sue Wilde]

Neat shot but you're right...airports seem to be specialist in UGLY

[Kimberly Balychev]

Great POV and composition! :) And hehehe airports are never the most attractive buildings :) hehe

[Laraine Kensicki]

you made a boring airport building pretty fascinating from the "dotted line" effect at the top to the reflection at the bottom!

[Karen H]

May not be "pretty", but it is interesting.

Not ugly to my mind, merely functional. I agree with @aspada about the quality of this composition.

[summerfield]

@aspada @automaticslim @summerfield @kbalychev I thank you for your kind words. I was not happy with any of my pictures and this seemed the nicest but I came close to posting nothing!

@kwiksilver @swilde @eniaral @tigerdreamer Thanks for your comments, they are all greatly appreciated!

Cool shot and great reflections. Nicely done.

I like the composition here- and it seems appropriate that the parts of the building look like the parts of a plane I think!
