    I thought the XL was for extra-large building. But nooooooo.

    It's a nice shot, though. I really like wavy reflections.

    Funny comment about stretch fabrics. I think I know what you mean and "sudden interest."

    Have a fun weekend!

    Those are amazing reflections! I always worry about birds flying into them though.

    I love the "XL stands for extra large" comment - hah! Great reflection and I am glad to see those clear blue skies with a few fluffy clouds. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

    Reflection aside, this is a great study of lines and angles.

    I love this kind of building. Always wanted to work in a place like this when I was a kid. For some reason all those windows appealed to me (and still do)!
