Bent space-time

Last December we went to the new Stanford Hospital to see a hospitalized friend. The $2 billion seven-story facility includes 368 single-patient rooms, and has been opened in mid November. At the front is a giant buckyball. Buckminsterfullerene is the full name of this molecule, composed of 60 carbon atoms.

 

From Wikipedia: A buckminsterfullerene has a cage-like fused-ring structure that resembles a soccer ball, made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, with a carbon atom which has one π bond and two single bonds at each corner of the shape to create a universal vertex.

 

I processed a balanced, a photographic, and an enhanced HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
