Calder at a huge distance, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

This is the pic of one of Alex Calder's sculptures, as seen from the Sears Tower in Chicago (at a certain point, this was the tallest building in the world). I liked how the red of the sculpture contrasted with the "normal" grey of the city. Also, I was impressed by the view over another of Chicago's skyscrapers. This must have been the tallest building in the world, at a certain point in the Art Deco era.

I focused my camera on the bulding. The glow-like effect was obtained due to there being a not very clean window between my camera and the subject. :)
