Nice moody shot, the building on the right looks somewhat like the NY flatiron building ( at least to me as a Belgium alien not all that aquainted with American architecture, safe for the works of F.L. Wright)

Yes, I am also reminded of the Flatiron Building. This building in San Antonio is the Emily Morgan Hotel, which, if you believe such things, is the third most haunted hotel in the world. www.mysanantonio.com/lifestyle/article/San-Antonio-s-Emily-Morgan-Hotel-is-the-third-6582426.php#photo-3783949 Both the Flatiron and the Morgan have a "pointy" corner. The angle between Broadway and Fifth Avenue at 23rd Street in New York, where the Flatiron is located, is only about 25 degrees, which gives the building its distinctive look. I almost couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw it. But I got used to it - lived nearby at 6th Ave and 16th Street for a while. The angle between East Houston Street and Avenue E in San Antonio , where the Morgan is located, is about 60 degrees. Not so pointy as the Flatiron, but still pointy enough to catch the eye. |

There's a certain "weirdness" about corner buildings wich has allways fascinated me. Here's one i had to pass everyday in the days i went to college.  |

A small example:  Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. Where Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and many others got their start. |

I love that shot. It's a very restrained application of HDR. Very nice.
