I’m obsessed with this photo. I love all the subtle changes in the colors of the reflections on the windows.

Were you just in the right place at the right time, or were you specifically trying to capture this?

I’m glad you liked it!

I was having dinner outside watching the sun set over the city with my girlfriend. She noticed the colors in the reflections in the building. I have been trying to encourage her to get into photography, so I handed her the camera to take the shot. She managed to capture it really well!

The colors might be a bit exaggerated in post processing, but it is a great shot none the less!

Same, whatever the secret ingredient is, it’s got it. Mesmerizing.

If you’re an architect, understand that this is the MEP equivalent of fighting words.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. The joke here is that designing a building like this creates a lot of work for the engineers designing the building utilities

Can confirm. Architect is a four letter word at my workplace.

Wait, that’s a photo? I thought it was a stylized rendering at first. The colors are almost vaporwave.

Yup! Here’s some info about the building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlatornet I think the colors come from the sun setting and the glass panes reflecting it in different colors because of their angles
