    What a great catch you made here, Dusty Lens. I like this crackelé effect!! In the photo at the top the buildings seems to open up...

    A photographer's buffet as Strangetastes would say. I am glad you gave us a second helping! It does flare out at the top. Amazingly beautiful and I don't usually say that about sleek, modern skyscrapers. The crackled glass is a wonderful addition. It would have been so easy to slap some plain tinted glass on there.

    That is amazing how you've captured the different looks that this building can give from different times of the day and also different locations and angles. Was the Tulip one taken from the ground? and then the other from the Foshay? Nice job..!

    I suspect a photographer really designed this tower. Kudos to you for the very different views.

    I always wondered what this building was. Everytime I'm in Minneapolis, I admire it on the skyline. Great photos.

    Yes, its very cool how it is the colour of the time of day. I like the effect the reflections create in the 2nd photo too :)

    These are really beautiful. I like the bit of color from the trees & the roofs on the 2nd one too. Perfect photo eye with these. It's so great for you fellow blogers to get together & do a photo shoot.
