Our docent said lots of people consider 333 West Wacker their favorite Chicago building. I'm no exception.
The clouds had moved past by the time I set up for this so the long exposure was probably not even needed. I think I like it without any clouds anyway though
Distinctive building features, difference is that this lift shaft is on the outside, the fantastic Lloyds of London AKA Inside-out building. It really does offer a multitude of architectural photography options.

Vista nocturna de la catedral de Campeche, desde el interior de los portales de la plaza de armas. La catedral, testigo del correr de los siglos, del paso de generaciones, de las gestas heroicas locales, de los ataques piráticos, de la grandeza y nobleza de un pueblo.

A great, throbbing architectural boil or zit on the elegant old face of York, Stonebow House is perennially voted one of the ugliest, most inappropriately situated buildings in Britain yet it survives all attempts to have it demolished and the site redeveloped.
Recently, this building topped a BBC Magazine poll of the most disliked public buildings in the UK.
Afternote: the latest info is that the complex is to be turned into luxury appartments!
Given my very, very brief visit in Boston, sleep was, unfortunately, not quite on the agenda for this night photographer. After exploring the city the night before, I went to bed around midnight only to wake up around 3:45am so I could find the location I had in mind for the sunrise at 5:48am.
I have never used GPS to find any location. I’m an avid connoisseur of maps, globes, and road atlases. (Yes, I’m rather "19th century" in that sense). Of course, in my confused state of mind somewhere between lethargy and exhilaration, I realized I had forgotten my maps in the hotel room. It was too late, though -- the key was in the ignition and I was already driving through the empty streets of downtown Boston. Going back to get the maps would waste precious time, which I had so little of, so I had to use my wits and regional topography to get me to East Boston.
For me, there’s always something very enjoyable about cruising on the empty highways of a major American city when everyone’s asleep! With the cool wind blowing through the windows, I began to wake from my drowsy stupor. With a few right turns and a few wrong turns, I managed to reach an alternative spot to get the view you see posted above.
The place I really wanted to be was a good mile and a half (2.4km) away, which is where this photo was achieved (after jogging the distance and avoiding a skunk in the park who seemed to be oddly drawn to me and wanted my company that early in the morning -- I had to dodge that fellow with stealth). Running with one's camera, backpack, and tripod while racing with the sunrise is no easy feat. That skunk almost blew my chances too!
Regardless, these are the entertaining details of my adventures of capturing Boston before dawn! Have an excellent week!
The Boston galleries (City Images) (Aerials) are completed and now available on my official website, which has also been overhauled, and undergoing more changes! Enjoy!

I tend to avoid shopping trips to Glasgow, even more so at this time of year as I find the crowds of shoppers rather oppressive. Was in town nonetheless last Saturday though - crowds were hellish as expected but saw and snapped this view of a building at the foot of Buchanan street catching the ending days light with my compact.
Beautiful building, easy to forget the hustle and bustle going on below looking at this.
Don't know the name of this building but would like to, if there any experts out there?
