Here's one that has been in the archives for some time now...

The Pyramid Arena in Memphis is a 32 story building, the third largest pyramid in the world. This 21,000 seat sports and entertainment facility is home to the NBA Memphis Grizzlies and the University of Memphis Men's Basketball Program.

Seen from my hotel room at sunrise. Very sci-fi, would you agree?

Thanks for stopping buy and have a super day!

Nice colour gradient in the sky, Pierre. And a nice subject too, though I feel its right corner is a bit too close to the pic's edge - but you probably had a good reason for that.
An amazing building for sure. TFS

I agree with you on your sci-fi imaginings specially with the haze of the early morning sun and all those vacnt arking spaces! I like the effect of the sky you captured here.

Salut Pierre,
Wow tu as de très belle choses dans tes archives. J'aime l'ambiance de cette photo avec les couleurs du ciel avec le soleil levant. Je suis bien d'accord avec toi on se croirait dans un film de science-fiction. Très bien réussi.

Hi Pierre,
que belíssima foto!
Dígna de um quadro!
Congratulations

Yes, definately looks like something from a 1970's scifi show.
Lovely colours in the sky and nice clean lines in the architecture, but composition looks a little off - I guess the hotel window/balcony didn't provide you enough space?
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hi Pierre,
Were you able to see the inside? I had the luck to get a tour trough the Pyramid. It is just amazing how much room there is on the inside. You captured the pyramid with stunning light. This is the perfect light for this city.

Sujet captivant Pierre! J'aime ton choix de cadrage avec ce ciel qui nous transporte très haut en continuité de la pyramide.

Super!

Guy

Si je devais parler de fiction comparative ... ça fera très '70 mais si tu a déjà vu le film Logan's Run... Les scènes de maquettes de la ville futuriste... Ça ressemblait à c style quand même...
En francais c'était le Crystal si je me rappelle.
Intéressant rappel :)

Sais tu... je reviens en arrière...
J'ai eu le flash après avoir tapé la note.
On me dis souvent ... Moi j'aurais enlevé le 1/3 du ciel supérieur...
QUand je recois ce genre de commentaire j'avous que oui c'est vrai ça change le style... On se raproche du panoramique si ça ne l'est pas vraiment...
Et je me dis... Haaa... Mais lui il fait la même chose que moi ici :)

Je crois que tu aime le ciel toi aussi... :)
Mais ça se fait tellement à l'instinc ces compos là des fois :)

Tu as raison Pierre ! Elle ressemble etrangement à un "OVNI" cette pyramide !
