Dallas Night Skyline — Texas

The Dallas skyline at night is a gathering of architectural ambitions spanning four decades: I.M. Pei's glass tower catching city light in its curtain wall, Philip Johnson's Fountain Place rising as a serrated green crystal, Calatrava's cable-stayed bridges as luminous lines at the edge of the frame. Shot on the Leica M11, the image holds the quality of color and shadow detail that resolves individual window lights across the distance without flaring. Dallas rewards the patient photographer who waits for the exact moment when the sky holds residual blue and the building lights have reached full intensity, that window of perhaps fifteen minutes between sunset and full dark. This is that window.
