STC building

We couldn’t even imagine what this was off in the distance; it looked like a gigantic drum sitting on top of a building, and that’s sort of what it is, held up by some elaborate metal in back. It’s actually STC, our cell phone carrier and one of our ISPs.

A bold, reflective building, posted earlier:

Very modern design.V

This is probably what they do with extra oil refinery storage tanks. Just kidding of course. Well formed composition that emphasizes all those nice shapes and the contrasts between them. ~BV~

This one might be designed more for function than looks. Vote.

An effective composition in marvelous tone and clarity. Striking light reflection on the strips of the drum. Well seen and beautiful captured, Helen. VvV
