The Grande Mirror

The Grande is a high-rise residential building in San Diego. Composed of two towers of equal height, the 39-story towers have a height of 420 feet and are a prominent fixture in San Diego's skyline, dramatically changing the way the skyline looks compared to how it did in 2002 . The Grande at Santa Fe Place was designed by the architect firm Perkins & Company Architecture and Urban Design Inc. and is based on late-modernist architectural style. This photo was taken through 17 stops of neutral density to achieve a “moonlit” look, but in reality, the photo was taken at noon. Mirrored buildings are rare in these parts, but I love the effect they give the observer.
