  • Build your own view

    Build your own view, a photo by stst31415 on Flickr. What I like in modern architecture is the fact that you have gazillions of reflections. If you look at the pictures you sometimes start building your own views. By using the HDR method one can reveal lots of details in the reflection. It were so…
