Reflection, glass, and color

I was fascinated by the reflections in the tall building across from where we stayed in Seattle. I kept taking photos, different times of day.

This is my favorite shot taken through the hotel window--on the 23rd floor--and then, walking back from dinner our last night, I noticed the setting sun lit up the other side with
a totally different effect. Fun stuff.

I've always been fascinated by reflections too.

Your two shots don't even look like the same building!

had the same idea!

I've never really done a study of the same subject--or portions of it--at different times of day to see the difference that light makes.
And again, it was just chance that we were walking back to the hotel after dinner and I looked up and realized that was the building I'd
been shooting--from the other side not at ground level--at different times of day.
