"Crystal Blue Persuasion"
Raleigh, NC - October 2008 (Click to embiggen)
This structure stands right behind the parking garage I park in every day. I say "structure" because I've never really been sure what it is. It's not a "building" in the usual sense of the word. And it's not part of the parking garage either. I think it's part of the heating/air conditioning system that serves buildings in the state government complex in downtown Raleigh. I know for sure that there's a monstrous condenser that you can see from the second level of the parking deck, but I don't know if there's more to it that's housed inside this "building" or if this is actually something else.
For my purposes though, it doesn't matter what's inside the building that matters. It's the striking line it creates against this field of flawless Carolina Blue. And rest assured, this isn't the last you'll see of this building -- or this sky.

That's a very blue sky, unlike ours here at the moment.
That's a very beautiful blue sky! WOW! Mine is posted HERE. Happy SWF!~
So very, very blue! Beautiful sky.
This is nice. I'm glad it's not the last we'll see of either!
I like the shape of the concrete building. Nice photo.
Happy Sky Watch!
I like this. I always enjoy when great architecture makes shapes in a perfectly blue sky.
I love the way you framed the beautiful carolina blue sky. Carver's Photoblog
I like how you put it Carolina blue.
Looks much like the sky here in South Carolina this week. What a wonderful shade of blue. The building adds an interesting contrast indeed. :-)
Awesome blue sky!!

What a blue sky!
Nice contrast! Looks like your Carolina skies were much the same as my So.California skies...
Smooth....
Very nice! :)
Nice clean lines, sharp colours, and excellnet perpective.
I like how the clear blue sky is against the building.
You do know how to photograph a sky....or a moon.
It does create a lovely line!
You have the eye of an artist
lovely blue sky and if it is like the water towers that heat and cool buildings downtown here it is amazing inside too!
Mojo: A wonderful view of that sky with the neat building shape.
Sometimes we forget to observe the places we visit everyday!
Lovely blue sky! Nice picture of a (probably) ugly building ;-)
Now that is MAJOR blue! Love it.

That's a cool structure - the vertical lines and the curved top against the blue sky make a beautiful combination. Very nicely captured! (www.reluctantfarmchik.com)
Very cool composition.
thanks for the earworm ... i like this ..the 'angle' is pleasing

What a sky color!
There's an expression where I live : 'arrondir les angles' literally 'to round off angles'. It is translated by 'to smooth the rough edges'.
That's what your composition of that Structure against your sky appeals to me. Life is so pleasant with (figurative) curved lines
Striking contrast.....the beautiful blue sky and the cement building!
Happy SkyWatching! Greetings from Iowa.
Wow! That's beautiful.
