Shadowy

I had seen this building several times before, but neither distance nor drive-by shots worked with it, so finally we stopped and got out of the car to look. The design idea was nice enough, but it’s still under construction and didn’t look as great close up as I had hoped it would. There is a round tower on either end, but I couldn’t get both in the frame from this vantage point.

A fantastic PoV to show the design and curves. We have a building similar to this in our Town Square, V

That will be a beautiful building when construction is completed. I really like the lines and
curves from your great vantage point.

Nice curves and lines. Does sort of look like some sort of arena with all those numbered doors.

With those numbers above the doors, this reminds me of some kind of sports complex, being those the gates for each area of seats.V
