glass and steel and cloudy sky by summerfield

glass and steel and cloudy sky

low dark clouds, fog and a healthy dose of rain and showers - that's what we had all day today. add nasty wind that made 12 celcius seemed like it's still winter. although i meant to walk outside at lunchtime, it was raining rather heavy and i ended up circling the path so i can put in as many steps in my pedometer. going home, i thought i'd photograph the first half and half that would catch my eyes. i got a couple that were so-so and this was an afterthought just before i went inside the building as it started to rain again.

you can bet you will see this again (perhaps the other side of the building) on a day when the sky is clear.

i like to think i can stick to the portrait orientation but who knows?

fitness challenge update: my total steps for today is 13,864. that should go up when i input my 30 minutes of dancing, 20 minutes of in-place jogging and 30 minutes of exercises. apparently housework counts. i should check if eating buffet counts, too. :-P
Eating counts if you're standing up ;p Nice half 'n half!

You could do a whole week of this building, taken at different times of day from different angles - it is very dramatic.

Excellent shot and POV

Love all the reflections and the windows stacked upon each other.

A most excellent half-and-half with such a dramatic sky.

I think eating at a buffet works if you keep going back… It's the steps remember! 😳

I came back to ask if you had considered cropping out the buildings at the bottom right?

Love the perspective and reflections.

Great half and half.

@grammyn - i did crop it at first but i didn't like how it looked so stark on the other half because i quite liked the gray clouds with them. i could've probably straightened them in post but i don't quite know how and i was tired after 30 minutes of dancing, 25 minutes of exercises and a 10-minute dip in the pool and by the time i had showered it was late i got lazy. :-D

@grammyn - apparently, eating buffet is not counted as an activity, sono bonus. the going back and forth counts for the steps though. i suppose i just have to eat a lot!

really like this half and half - sometimes it is those last minute afterthought shots that bring the results.
