Trump Tower, Fifth Avenue, New York City, New York, 2013

The façade of this 58-story skyscraper offers a cubistic pattern of gold and copper reflections, clad in blue shadows. Much depends on the height and angle of the sun itself here. It is the color of the sun-splashed building on the opposite side of Fifth Avenue that creates the colors. The Trump Tower, built in the 1980s, symbolizes wealth, power, and glitz. These reflections do justice to its reputation.

Pattern, color, reflection, cubism, wealth, power -- it is all part of this image. Thanks, Iris, for calling it a kaleidoscope, which blends all these elements into a coherent expression.

A kaleidoscope of pattern and color.
