Olaya Towers again

Another capture of Olaya Towers from a bit different perspective. In this one I couldn’t use a tripod; it’s hard to explain, but it is on a very busy street and people view cameras and picture taking with suspicion, and so my D810 plus big lens plus a tripod probably would have resulted in my getting arrested. Just kidding, but there was also a policeman parked right next to me that I was trying to avoid being seen by. I wasn’t photographing anything forbidden, I don’t think, but just best here to avoid attracting attention.

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
