Photographer’s Note
Built in 1921 by the Algeria Shrine (Ancient Arabic Order - Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) this building now serves as the Civic Center for Helena, MT. It is said that the order could no longer afford it's upkeep and was adopted by the city. It serves a variety of purposes, inclucing a platform on the mineret is used by the fire dept for rapelling practice.
This is sort of departure for me. I normally try to achieve more natural appearances, but in this case I couldn't resist playing with my new 12-24 MM lense.

Quite an interesting perspective and point of view, nice contrasting colors, nicely composed, well done.
