Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)

The corner of Rue Saint-Pierre and Rue Saint-Jaques (St. James Street) was once the heart of Old Montreal's financial district and home to its earliest skyscrapers. On the left is the 1873 Merchant's Bank building and on the right the elegant Canada Life Building from 1895 was the city's first to use a steel structure. Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The Finance Tower (French: Tour des Finances, Dutch: Financietoren) is a skyscraper in the Northern Quarter central business district of Brussels, Belgium, designed by the architects Hugo Van Kuyck, Marcel Lambrichs and Léon Stynen. It is the second tallest building in Belgium, and has the most office space of any building in Belgium. At the time of its construction, this skyscraper was the second tallest building in Belgium after the Tour du Midi. The height of the building is 145 meters, and it has 36 floors.
International Finance Centre (abbr. IFC, branded as "ifc") is an integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong's Central District.
A prominent landmark on Hong Kong Island, it consists of two skyscrapers, the ifc mall, and the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the tallest building in Hong Kong, usurping the place once occupied by Central Plaza. It is the third-tallest building in the Greater China region and the seventh-tallest office building in the world, based on structural heights; by roof height, only the Shanghai World Financial Center, Taipei 101 and Sears Tower exceed it. The International Commerce Centre, currently under construction above the MTR Kowloon station and scheduled for completion in 2010, will usurp 2IFC's various titles.
The Airport Express Hong Kong Station is directly beneath it.

This is Finance Tower, the second tallest building in Belgium.
The tallest building in Belgium is, like this one, in Brussels. It’s called ‘South Tower’ and you can find it right outside the Eurostar terminal.
I didn’t realise while I was taking photos of both of these buildings, spread quite far apart in Brussels, that they were indeed the tallest two in Belgium, so it was nice to learn this fact while writing this post.
Attempting to find out the name of the building above, I went on to Google Maps and retraced the steps I took while I as walking from central Brussels to the Atomium to find the building and figure out what it was. The fact I was there 9 months ago did not make this too easy, and made me wish I had a GPS device for my phone. Once found, I did a quick Google search and that’s when I realised it was the second tallest building.
It was only after my curiosity made me want to know what the tallest building in Belgium was that I found I had also taken photos of it on the same trip.
I seem to gravitate towards tall buildings I guess :)

Taken after that shot from the airport. Was supposed to go home straight but changed my mind and went to this place to see how a blue hour shot using the finance building as background will look like. Would have wanted some more light trails but it was an early friday evening so not many cars are out on the roads.

Once a year a funfair comes to Hong Kong for a week. It's located right in the heart of the city so it's interesting to see it set against the backdrop of glass towers.
The lighting at the time of shooting was very odd, lots of air pollution haze mixed with late afternoon light and reflections, so getting the right balance of colours and tones has been tricky.
