when I become a grown-up photographer, I wanna take pictures like these! These are amazing.

j'adore, surtout la deuxième, je trouve que l'immeuble principal ressemble un peu au rockfeller center de NYC (peut être le même architecte)

I love, especially the second, I think the main building looks a bit like the Rockefeller Center in NYC (may be the same architect)

Some good looking architecture in your town! I can see why you think what you do about them...

Oh D.L. what a sweetheart you are! I love that wonderful French music this morning. I also love your Monopoly pieces. Gorgeous. I never knew Minneapolis was so beautiful. Gotham City almost-ha

Boy, Rob, starting fueds here in your comment area. Funny! Rather exciting stopping by to comment, haha. So it looks like you fared well without me along on your photoshoot. I really did want to go with you guys, just had a chaotic time and limited hours to spend and I chose otherwise. But I really like the bottom photo, its so...whats the word I'm looking for? SHARPend, you know? Crazy clickety (clickety? what kind of word is that? I must be tired!) details.
Zzzzzz....must sleep...zzzz
Do more of these, please, so I can see what I missed. I heard you went to my ZONE, the Stone Arch? Lets see some of them!

great shots, but sad how these buildings look like buildings you'd find anywhere across Anywhere, USA

Really? Must be Boardwalk!

That second shot is superb. I love the sun reflecting in the closer building!
