January Skyline

How soon we forget. You have a few warm days and it’s so easy to block out the memory of the big chill a little while ago. I liked this shot and salted it away to bring out later for added effect. The sky had been very dark that day, but those clouds finally moved onward to the east, as you can see behind the buildings, and then the sun came out and lit up the side facing me.

Does this photo look at all familiar? Um..well it’s sort of wearing a disguise, but you might if you look around. It’s the deep-freeze version of the top border shot, well…part of it anyway, used in the main header for IHB. The header view was taken in May when everything had come alive for the summer. There is one big difference now though. The JW Marriott, which has been under construction, is much farther along than it was in May, and has altered the skyline in a huge way. It’s a good size building anyway, but also it’s located closer to where this photo was taken from, so it has even more of a presence in this view of the skyline. The top border in IHB is really five photos sewn together to provide the panorama view.

With the JW Marriott emerging, looks like I’m going to have to update the top border photo later. That will be fun.
