Hartford Steam Boiler Building



I have shown reflections from this building before, up close.  Here it is again, from a distance.  

And, here are more photos with reflections on James' blog, Weekend Reflections.

    I usually don't like architecture that is this modern, but the illusion is mesmerizing.

    The reflections on this building are just amazing. I wonder if the architects had that in mind when they designed the building. It is certainly eye catching.

    What a strange piece of architecture ! The reflection mess with our brain : it is hard to tell the difference between the concrete and the glass... It reminds me of the work of MC Escher : good choice on the Sepia ; it looks even more like a drawing like that.

    Very cool. I like how it changes when I shift my eyes a little.

    Looked at the bigger version - one can't see inside the windows, so they must be coated? Anyways, a friendlier version of a skyscraper because of its color:)

    There's one in Leeds a bit like this. I really like the effect. Looks kind of ghostly.

    I don't get it. I haven't had a single drop of wine at dinner and I'm seeing double?

    Like an Escher print, what's up, down, in, and out? A puzzle for sure. Happy Spring.

    Terrific photo Jack. I don't think my Leggos set would be able to do that.

    This is not real, this is an optical illusion ;-)

    Cool photo, Jack!

    An otherwise dull building gets a complete new dimension with these reflections. Like it.

    So good Jack, it's difficult to tell what is reflection and what is real...

    It's like an Escher ! I can't make out what's what, but that's not uncommon for me.
