    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)

    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!

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