[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Penobscot Building in downtown Detroit is the third tallest building in the city and was completed in the 1920s. It is topped by a large antenna structure with a neon red ball that can be seen for miles at night. It's one of the many jewels of architecture built in the city during that time. The building had a complete renovation and cleaning in the 1990s. This wall of the building had been covered with decades of black soot but is now, once again, a clean surface. The dissipating airplane trail in the sky is the same one as in my ANR photo and is probably the first thing that caught my eye when I looked up.

Skyscrapers are my favorite subjects. I like the dark shadows of this one especially on the windows. The setting against an incredible blue sky with an odd cloud formation added oomph to the picture. The neighboring buildings are a little bit distracting and could be cropped to give more focus to the building ... but you have to take the shot that you have to take. Good notes too!!
