King Fahd National Library

This is the King Fahd National Library at night. I had read that the color changes, but it definitely does not. I did use a tripod for this shot, although forgot to adjust the somewhat high ISO. Some day I’ll get it all right ;-). This was the only perspective that worked well due to some incredibly bright lights along the back of the building and a busy boulevard right in front of it. Unfortunately there were many barriers in the road so I just turned it into a sort of panoramic format.
