I can feel the rush. Nice capture of the city life, Carolyn! #374388Donna Roberts January 14, 2006
I really enjoy seeing glimpses of your city Carolyn.....I recognised the Harry Siedler designed building straight away (which is in the top left hand corner) - we have an almost identicial building here in Brisbane.#2286550

Really like this one, Carolyn! Especially like the POV/Perspective on the building in the back...looks 2D, like there's only one side to it! Intriguing! #2286577Milan Banik January 14, 2006
great sharing Carolyn ,like ur city shot , #2286831Carolyn J. Connolly January 15, 2006
Pu, Donna, Kerby, Pat, and Milan - thanks a lot for your very kind comments on this image of mine!! :o)Donna - it's interesting that you immediately noticed this Harry Seidler designed building in Sydney!! Next time Phil and I visit Brissie we'll have to look out for 'your' one!! ;o)
Yes, the blurred triangle in the top left-hand corner IS a small part of the building that was closest to me when I was taking the photograph... I was TRYING to get in the best possible position for the point of view that I wanted for the shot!! ;o)
Pat - the building at the back of my image DOES look a little two-dimensional, doesn't it?!! ;o) Of course, it's a bit of an optical illusion, because of my point of view, BUT, I think that it MAY actually be a somewhat differently shaped building... :o)
Hope you're all having a WONDERFUL weekend!!! :o) [Sadly, ours here Downunder has already come to a screeching stop!! ;o)] #2291156
