Default Vacant Reflections

I drive by these office buildings every morning, they have been sitting vacant ever since being built- several years now, the lights burn all night long, not sure about daytime. My guess is that it's being paid by some Government contract, hah!

A little move

In between

Thanks for looking

Well the shots are fantastic. You did a great job with that, Great reflections. But, what a sad story. I hate seeing that kind of waste in money and energy.

Ditto about the second one. I like the symetry and the unobscured reflection of both buildings. Althought the sky in the last one really adds character to the shot. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job photographing these buildings but i have to wonder how many families were made homeless so they could clear enough land to build this wasteland.

the lights burn all night long

I glad the lights were burning this night because these are excellent pictures, I like them all bgg, but favour the first one for the extra detail on the grass slopes and the grasses around the lake

Great shots! I love them all but also favor the last one for the sky detail.
