I never cease to be awestruck by the Cira Building. Thank you, Sasso.

Looks like a CGI special effect and not a physical building.

aw shucks. thanks everyone.

cira centre is really an easy subject, and at just about any hour of the day. seeing it from on high is really when it's most impressive though, i think. from the ground on sunny days, you get the nice cloud reflections, but from up high, seeing the reflections of its surroundings is really tripped out.

here's another one like it, from the bell atlantic tower:


and for the record: i am a fan of the drexel shaft! i think they should hire some old skool philly graf artists to decorate the entire thing, from top to bottom. beaux-arts, meet 1978.

I think they should turn the shaft into condos. Totally awesome 360 degree views.
