@ordinaryimages: Thanks Jerry. Oddly enough it's never really full of people. It's been been crowned "the place where businesses come to die". It does have a great movie theatre though, and that is always full.

What a fitting title for this grand space. I love the scope of this shot. Just beautifully captured.
And rich clean black and white tones to die for. :-)

Powerful image with such a strong sense of control within it . . space, yes, but I feel participation is not encouraged !

Skeleton of cities, so strong are those lines & so beautiful the temple those structures evokes, crossed by the light and studied on purpose to let it travel through.

I can't find it here. It's hypnotizing and uplifting all at the same time, Sharon. Can't find any rest but exploring all the details. Damn excellent! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Nice strong lines and angles in this shot Sharon! Despite the grand scale of the work I find the space cluttered and lacking harmony! ;-)

@Eric Cousineau: Thanks Eric. This was the only shot I was able to get (it was a test for light) before the security guard came and nicely told to put my camera away. I had planned to explore this structure at a later date...guess that won't happen.

Far more complex than your normal posts, but you've cut through the detail to produce a strong, effective and graphical image.
