You have a knack for getting beneath things. I'm glad you were off to the side of this one!
Good shot - I like the contrast of the wispy cloud and the solid block!

It's so true that you need to have your camera with you at all times; what a great moment in time this is.

Very cool shot. Looks like it's miles above the earth. The detail really makes it look heavy.

It has your trade mark. But joking apart, it looks so dangerous and gives an illusion effect. From the top it looks like sky and bottom it looks like sea. :-)

Really cool photo. I would not want to stand under this though thats for sure! If you watch Star Trek at all it reminds me of a Borg cube flying through space! :)

Great compo, JJ
Love the contrast between the concrete weight and the feeling of lightness that communicates the clouds in the sky.
Well seen and better realized
;o)

Very cool shot! I like it a lot, but I am afraid it is going to fall on my head!

Excellent use of space. I would have taken this from some distance...would not want that falling on my head :)
