filipe franco from Lagoa, Azores, Portugal

An image absolutely fantastic ...... I like in special the purification of the form (building) and the relation of the shadow in the work .... very well!

Fred from Easton PA, United States

That's some building, the edge looks as sharp as a knife !

@Fred: Thank you Fred, from that point of view you get that feeling it's amazing to see!

I like the straight lines of the building and sharp image of the pic. The difference in intensity of blue in the sky is so nice! You see light blue in the bottom, then a darker blue on top. I love sunrises and sunsets, was this a sunrise or a sunset? My guess is a sunset...

@paperdoll: It was a sunset, thank you paperdoll!

Fernanda Quiros from Panama, Panama

Me recuerda a las catedrales goticas donde las puntas de las torres trataban de llegar al cielo, y por lo visto han pasado tantos años y perseguimos el mismo fin.

@Fernanda Quiros: Gracias Fernanda, yo creo que los esfuerzos por construir cada vez más alto nunca van a terminar, siempre perseguiremos el mismo fin como has mencionado!
