Heaven and Earth

Posted by
Bettina (Los Angeles, United States) on 16 July 2011 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

I loved how the setting sunlight reflected caught on the buildings in this narrow sliver.

One of your most striking architecture shots, the darkness is divine, and those lights
reflecting are spectacular and mysterious. Superb and beautiful photo.

hast du deine Kamera immer dabei oder war das ein geplantes Bild?
auf alle Fälle ist es sensationell - die Linien, die blauen Farbtöne, die Spiegelung der Sonne - perfekt.

16 Jul 2011 9:10am

@Roman: Das war nicht geplant. Ich hatte einfach die Kamera dabei. Meistens passiert es so, spontan.

Eric Cousineau from Sherwood Park, Canada

A wonderfully cool and enticing image Bettina! The reflected light gives the impression of fairy lights - or - someone is using a transporter and is materializing in this particular spot! Beam me up Scotty! ;-))

Pretty selective slice of light. Sort of looks like the last trail of a fireworks display.

San G. from Encino, California, United States

Is this down near MOCA? I appreciate your sensibility in framing ... the subtle blue and strong blue balance so nicely alongside the subtle yellow reflections. Beautiful.
