    OK, that cannot be as skinny as it looks. Right?

    It's an architectural illusion. Because of the building's sharp angles, the view from the Riverwalk presents an optical illusion that the facing wall is one-dimensional. Pretty cool.

    Nice lighting you had for getting this photo. Looks like the tree is
    competing for overall height and winning. :D

    Thanks. I really would have loved to ground it, but I was shooting from down in the well of the Riverwalk. I wouldn't have had a wide enough lens to get the whole thing in at ground level.

    This is a bizzare photo...(in a good way) and i am glad someone else asked what i was thinking!!! This building would be interesting to see from all angles. Good job capturing it.

    Very cool shot. Great visual effect and, as already mentioned, the color is striking.
