The Hartford 21 mixed used apartment building can be seen through the XL Center's skylight.
Hartford 21 is the tallest apartment building between Boston and New York. Like many cities, Hartford is trying to entice more residents to live in the city center.
love that bottom shot, jack!
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great sky to frame in the skylight.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is terrific! I do love it!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of moving back to the center of the city works for many cities. Here, where we live, the people live out in the smaller towns and commute to and from work or drive. The cities can never seem to reduce the crime rates around here so nobody goes downtown anymore. It is not the place to be and to live there is apparently like taking your own life.
ReplyDeleteGreat pctures! My favorite kind of modern architecture!
ReplyDeleteThat skylight/dome is pretty dazzling! I always like patterns and this is a delight in forms.
ReplyDeleteI love these skylight shots and I like that Hartford 21 building. I think I would enjoy and apartment with a view. When I was working in St. Louis and Chicago I had great apartments with views in both cities.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots both, what a great idea to shoot up through the glass skylight. I'm not sure if I could go back to apartment living, I'd miss my garden too much.
ReplyDeleteNo cruises to Kalamunda Jack, it's in the hills!!
Really cool Jack!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing building and I do love that last shot and your perspective! Perfect place to view beautiful skies! Hope you have a great day, Jack!

Great shot! But I would not like to live in such a tall building. In my town, never more than 10 floors authorised.
ReplyDeleteI like that second shot, although it is making me a bit dizzy!
ReplyDeleteI love your second shot through the skylight too! Our downtown is overrun with condo towers - more under construction than anywhere else in N America.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great building. Love that skylight!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the clouds through the windows!
ReplyDeleteMore and more people are leaving the city centres here... I do like this architecture!
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in the mid town area of KC. I just cannot downsize that much :) Love the angle of both these shots.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Very nice images.
ReplyDeleteWonderful skylight! Bet the stars look great at night.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful shot of the skylight!
ReplyDeleteGoing UP!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! The second shot is terrific, Jack !!
ReplyDeleteGreat perspectives, Jack!
ReplyDeleteA very good post, Jack, but that third photo is stupendous!
ReplyDeleteAbout Picnik, it is an online editing site. I found out about it through a link at Flickr where I keep my photos. Yes, I'm having fun!
