Its pretty wild to see it the first time.You have to at least 12 stories up and a fair distance away just as the sun is ready to finally set.Not many have seen this.

Its like that for about a month.Every day at a certain time in the fall and spring it lasts for about 15 minutes.I was about two miles away when i took that.Close by its pretty bright.It doesn't disturb anyone because you only see it from the railway bridges.

it reminds me of the American Dream. As if the ray of enlighment was reflecting towards us from the skyscraper - symbol of growth and power of American society, as it was their invention, if you know what I mean... anyway great picture!

iamthemindfire In reply to MarcinFilinger [2010-10-30 16:00:10 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean.Its like the towers here are designed as propaganda for photos.I've yet to do a downtown skyline that didn't have me thinking of Ayn Rand cackling away some where.

I can imagine that! Just today I took a couple of sunrise shots and even being so low and behind a lot of haze I had to resort to using live-view in order to properly set up the shots.

Don't worry. As long as we live and breathe, there will be amazing photos to be taken. They never run out. Just keep looking and waiting and be ready. It will happen when you least expect it. So always have your camera with you!! HaHa
