Thanks, Fort Photo! I have to confess that the heavy lifting was done by the 5D's meter, with only minor tweaking. ;-)

Thanks, moontoy1, haberlea, dennisgg2002, Chitrakari and Lindsay Beyerstein! :-)

@ dogwelder: I want an axe to break the ice.. I wanna come down right now.

@ Ann & Ming: Thanks! I shot this while retrieving my car from the parking structure after a long Southwest Airlines weekend. I was surprised not to be visited by the police, especially while carrying around my fully extended black carbon fiber tripod. ;-)

@ Lake Fred: Thanks for comment and invitation! I will post it right now.

@ Bronxboy: Thanks... yes, it looks much better from the outside! :-)

It looks more like someone's freaked out in a moonage daydream, if you want opinion.

Nice electric blue.

Thanks, tricks! Oh, yes... where would we be without his songs of darkness and dismay? ;-)

monkeytime says:

@ cyanide_n_kat: Thanks... that blue is one of several light washes that alternates on the building. It's more picturesque, to me, than the red or yellow wash.

Hello,

I am Nikhil. I'm a volunteer editor on Wikipedia. We were wondering if we could use this image on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. You would be given credit of course and a link to this site would be placed.

You would have to change the license of this image to Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not accept non-commercial licenses. You can change the license by clicking "edit" next to All Rights Reserved and then clicking Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons.

Many other flickr users have had their works published in blogs, newspapers, and magazines this way. I can provide you some examples if you'd like.

We hope you will help us improve Wikipedia since millions of people use it everyday. Your help will improve articles on the site. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks so much.

I am but a meager traveller through L.A. Is the tower always this color at night? This is beautiful!

monkeytime says:

Thanks, "INTERNATIONAL REALTOR", vikild, mariannakoutna and Graham StJohn Smith. :-)

scleroplex: Thanks. :-) The last I looked, a couple of weeks ago, the building was still covered in scaffolding! ;-) I wonder what all is going on...

susanrudat: Thanks. :-) As I recall – and when it's not under construction, at least – the building is bathed in alternating colors of light on a cycle. I happened to catch it during a blue phase, but a couple of minutes later it would have been red or something.
