Ohio State landmark and my office. On the right is Morrill Tower and Lincoln Tower (where I spend my work days) is on the left. Taken early evening just before a rain storm. Out of frame on the right would be Ohio Stadium where the football Buckeyes play.

These identical buildings are Lincoln (l) and Morrill (r) Towers and they are administrative offices and honors residence halls on the Ohio State University camps in Columbus, Ohio. They were built in 1965 and have, since then, held the nickname of the "Twin Towers" because of the fact that they are identical 23 story buildings. The buildings are easily, perhaps instantly, recognizable by most or all people familiar with Columbus, Ohio State and Ohio in general and certainly anyone who has ever been to an OSU football game as the stadium is right next to Morrill Tower only about 100 yards away. More to the point of the challenge, this is my "corner of the world". I got my first degree from OSU and have worked there (in the tower) for the past 3 1/2 years. So, in response, I am not trying to be "smart-assed", just as a person from Manhattan who may have submitted a photo of something related to the World Trade Towers would not intend to be since they would see that as part of their world. Just as an aside I have a cousin who worked near the Trade Towers whose building was thankfully evacuated in time to avoid any fatalities that day. So I wonder if using my first title, "Twin Towers of OSU", would have been any different and avoided those comments. Probably not, but hey, it's just a photo. By the way, the towers don't look straight because of parallax. Look here for a definition: //www.dictionary.com/search?q=parallax&r=2 Courtenay
Nice dramatic sky... I kind of like having the students in front playing giving the photo life, but I wonder how it would look to try something a little closer to just a few of them with the two towers in the background.... --6-- sohr
