Thanks Tom - I think you spotted the purpose of the image and that it is better in b/w

I don't really feel the shot works. I took it because at the time it caught my eye with the repeating triangles and the hi tech look of the metal/glass buildings. I don't think I composed the shot very well and it has failed in most areas. The exception perhaps being the exposure where I did manage to catch a shine to the building on the left which although it loses detail in the brightest part does show the building is metal. Perhaps just too many subjects here.

Just one of those ones that has been hanging about a long time and belongs in the recycle bin.

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
