Just about any object or scene looks better than its actual self in the golden light of the sun going down. Standing on the Seattle pier and looking east, I saw this building go through several stages of beauty in less than an hour. It’s an attractive building with lots of design features, even in the harsh light of day, but I wonder if the architect knew how beautiful it would be at the end of the day. To me it looks more like a model of a building than the real thing.
