Powerful photo here. I LOVE the colors in this as well. Makes it even more dramatic.

It stopped me dead in my tracks when I looked up and saw it. The glass itself is some kind of bluish mirror, and the sun & clouds just made it frikkin' cool as heck.

The synagogue is right down the street, and I've thought about going back to photograph it again ... but sometimes you just get lucky the first time. I'd be a bit disappointed if I shot it again and it didn't hold up to the first shot.

You can never go back.

Ever.

I tried that with my most famous photo, Furious Sky. New gear, better IR filter, everything. Just couldn't recapture the magic because just like this one, you got it right the first time.

Love it.

I love it too. It'd be hard to get those clouds again I'd imagine.

Awsome, that is the new Bukharian Jewish Center!!! That building is crazy nice! Too bad the next door Havurat Yisrael still has quite a bit of construction before completion of their building.

lovely catch... the distortion of the glass makes the reflected sky look like a swirling maelstrom of doom. or something. i'm really good at pointing out the obvious, i know... but yeah... wonderful shot.

This photograph was used in the logo for "Forest Hills Jewish", a Yahoo group for Jews in Forest Hills-Rego Park, Queens

groups.yahoo.com/group/Forest_Hills_Jewish/

Pro-Zak, you live in the area? I would love it if you wanted to shoot more shuls for the group's next logo. I need Young Israel which is obviously near you.

That's not that close (over near Jewel between Main & Kissena), but if I'm in the area, I'll get a shot for you.

Nice find, Michal. I've had a semi-private tour of that area .... there are some pics in my OHNY 2007 set. We have some extremely similar shots.

I'm not that photographer... hahaha, I'm a girl. Michal is Jewish for Michelle. No, I knew of that video and I was like these comments remind me of that video with the mirror falling... where was that? Let me find that for them, they'll like it.

Main and Kissena, well in that case any shuls in Forest Hills if you're in the area... snap some for me. I might just get off my hiney and take some pictures and put up a shul series. It's a good excuse to plug my blog: michalbasavraham.blogspot.com/
plug, plug....
