Glass and steel reaching up into the sky
To touch the hot August sun
Glimmering, shimmering
Electric and alive.
Built on hopes and dreams
The old world and the new converging on the now
Blending and shaping a new tomorrow
Reflected in steel and glass
Under green leafy trees
In the heart of the city
Buzzing with life and opportunity

Beautiful and perfect post for the weekly challenge theme!
Hi Amy: Thanks I had fun with the whole thing. I was forced to go out of my naturery comfort zone. 😉
Nice gallery!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Great pictures you’ve got there – very impressive! 😀
LOL! I just read your comment on my blog and you used exactly the same words “very impressive”! We must be blogging on the same wavelength! 😀 😀
Hey Cathy: That is so cool and very impressive! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Cathy: The photo challenges are prompting me to expand my my idea of what I deem “capture worthy”, I had to go downtown to get those pics. It has been awhile but I had a great time! I will be publishing more about my “adventures” among the big buildings on my other blog one of these days soon. 🙂

Perfectly composed. You’ve expressed the feelings I often have looking at skyscrapers in my city. Thanks!
Hi Grogan: Thank you. I don’t have many urban pics. I’m a nature lover so I had to go downtown to get those…..I had a great time though. 🙂

Excellent and now I feel a bit dizzy staring at the top of those buildings… 🙂
HI EOF: Haha…I was hoping that would happen… 🙂
