[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
IDS Center, tallest building in Minneapolis, however not by much, just one foot over next competitor. It's covered with 42,614 reflective glass windows. I have been lucky to got so clear sky in Summer - I mean without any haze.
Inside you will find the lobby which is an eight story glass open space called the Crystal Court, even with 'small' 30m waterfall.

Very good angle of shot and composition (I have similar shot from NJ...)I like the different blue tones between the sky and the reflections on the building windows!

When I saw your photo Marcin I thought of my childhood, building towers with Lego, because the skyscraper and the reflection in it look like they are made up of small building blocks.
Thanks for bringing out the memories :-)

Very interesting shot.
I like this point of view.

When I saw your photo, I remembered my 6 wonderful years living in MN. I passed by both buildings very often as I used to work close to downtown Mpls. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot of the IDS center. Did you know that the IDS tower is taller, but just because of it's antennaes? The Wells Fargo Building (the gold one reflected here) is technically taller. Nice capture.
