This 42 story Brazilian red granite building is typical of Dallas. Originally this was going to be one of two towers on either side of 12 lane Central Expressway WITH an included 'Sky Bridge' between the two buildings.

The lower 5 floors are pretty much an open atrium and a Dallas Transit Light Rail Station is approximately 3 stories below the building. The liberal inclusion of white and pink marble, imported tile, exotic woods and brass make this one of the most expensive buildings ever erected in Dallas.... (& they were gonna build 2...?!?!) This was shot with my trusty D5100 / 18-105mm combo. ISO 100, f11, 10 sec. exposure..... Tripod, rem. release, Live view for manual zoom focus. I also use the on-board HDR....
