I’ve included a similar variation on this composition at least twice on the blog, probably more that I can’t remember. I like the rhythm these buildings create, and you know, three is a magical number in design and architecture.
It always seems crowded at this time when I visit, with cars clogging the streets to shop at Trader Joe’s. Oddly, the roads on the two sides of the small grassy median are named differently. The one closer is called Power Plant Drive, which forms the northern edge of the Seaholm development I discussed yesterday. On the other side of the small grassy strip is 3rd Street.
This picture with the compact Leica D-Lux 8 looks more than adequate even though it doesn’t match the performance of my full-frame Sony A7C. However, when viewed at these sizes on the blog, most people won’t appreciate the difference. Even at these small sizes, however, the Sony version appears crisper.
On the other hand, the blue hour in today’s version looks more pleasant, with a hint of sunset color on the horizon. Objectively, pictures of these towers are nothing special, but urban landscapes at night add that extra magic. Take a look at this scene in the daylight that I made back in 2017 with the Olympus PEN-F. Admittedly, it doesn’t look exciting, even with some decent clouds.
