Burj Al Anoud in blue

One of my favorite nighttime buildings in new colors! It had been lit up in red until recently.

Usually I photograph these buildings from the rear, and that’s where we were heading when suddenly the front of the building loomed right above me on the main boulevard and I snapped blindly at far too low a shutter speed for this camera, and from a moving car, but still, I liked the picture. I was going to cut out the lower building but sort of liked it there, too.

FWIW I am unable to read any Pbase messages as of right now. This has been the case since the site was totally down for about a half hour this morning…

Fabulous composition and capture! I'm glad you left the lower part in since it adds another nice contrasting shape. ~BV~
