Week 10: The Big Picture
Although Sally's suggestion of a wide angle shot brings to mind a wide visage, my thought turned to a slightly different perspective.
This building is one that has been looming in the city next where I live for about 12 years. You probably notice it's not finished. It was originally celebrated as the beginning of a new era of business prosperity for that city. Unfortunately it was started just as the economy and everything else went bust. A Televangelist was having it built on the basis of donations. He staunchly refused to use any types of mortgaging, or business financing to have it completed. Perhaps he thought a religiously based structure should remain completely non-secular. In any case here it is limping along too many years later. Who knows someday and some way Faith will get it completed.
See you next
week.

That is indeed an usual sight, quite fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is still structurally sound... some building materials don't do well exposed. Looks like it might be an interesting building if it ever gets finished!
ReplyDeleteA fascinating structure. Too bad the economy went south,
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot - and back story.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a neat looking building and what an interesting background to it!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's BIG! Interesting architecture, too - pretty cool. Very cool shot. Interesting backstory as well. Hopefully some day it will be finished and in use.
ReplyDeleteVery cool building. Love the story.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting story. I hope the building does get finished. Looks like that work would employ quite a few people!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, it looks so close to being done - hope it gets finished one day, it sure looks beautiful!
