 Hancock Tower, Chicago

The triangular arrangement of the outside beams are actually functional to support the building against wind shear and to make more room in the interior of this tapering building.

Taken in raw, color corrected, rotated, perspective corrected, resized, USM before saving to web. This is a similar take to my earlier Motivational Poster entry although this was taken at a different face (North) of the building.

Wow, I love the perspective here and the perfect symmetry, good details and nice blue sky, should do very well
