@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.

Very graphical, nice perspective. The B & W does well in this compo.

Beautiful POV. I love how the lights line up perfectly. Excellent composition.

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.
Beautiful structure, beautifully captured.

Outstanding expression of the space and form here Sharon. Love the strong lines and abundant geometrics. Very cool shot.

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

What a wonderful architectural scene and image. Love the repeating patterns..the light.
