Skywatch Friday: Looking up and looking down

Both of these shots were taken at the same place at the North Carolina Museum of Art.

In the first shot I was including the sky in between the top of the gallery wings and also reflected in the mirrored panels in the exterior building. In the second shot I was including the reflected sky in the reflecting pool which is built in outside between the wings.

  4. Beautiful shots. In the first one the overhead sky looks as if it is part of the building.

    The reflection shot is way cool with all that glass and plainness around and it works well in the skyshot too!
