Squares, Rectangles, Lines, and Angles by taffy

Squares, Rectangles, Lines, and Angles

From the roof -- my go-to spot when I don't get away from the house -- I used my 70-300mm handheld during the golden hour, looking east over the "Loop" downtown business district area. Weirdly, the golden tones made the scene look sort of cartoon like rather than elegant (my plan) so I converted to b&w and liked the way it heightened the patterns.
Shot of the moon from a little later is in my extras album. As you can see, it was a very clear night. http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-11-10
I really really like the sleekness and crispness here

I love urban shots....B&W becomes them! Great view from your rooftop, and wonderful capture...

Some really cool architecture. I like the uniformity in the buildings

I like how when you zoom in this much, at first glance you see more similarities than differences in architecture -- initially. But then you look closer and see all the unique features.

Perfect B&W as no colors distract viewers from the Squares, Rectangles, Lines, and Angles.

It looks like one of those puzzles where all the blocks fit together to form a cube. Thousands of permutations, only 1 solution...I think its called the Bedlam Cube.
