yeah thanks, im a sucker for this sort of lighting and this location, due to teh design of the city i love, is always perfect for silhouette shots around sunset.

but i really uploaded it to make s2art and barb, the two flickrites i had a photowalk around town with, wish they stayed for sunset.

Damn this is nice, ziz.

I'm surprised they didn't send a swat team after you for taking a photo of a police station.

ziz says:

i was there for about 5 mins, 3 sets of officers paused in the alley next to me to wait for me to take the pic.

a squad car pulled up in front of me, the officer got out, saw me standing there with a camera, apologised got back in and moved it to the other side of the street... he must have an eye for light and composition.

Gilfer says:

That's classic! You should have asked to have go on the siren as well, since he was in such a helpful mood.

» ok you got me ziz, ;)

however with the bush fires and the general traffic buildup during the week Thursday and Friday I reckon the sunsets will be awesome :)
