Today as I look at this shot, I have only two simple obvious thoughts.
One, in order for the shiny triangular surface of this building to reflect the light of the sun, it has to face the sunlight.
Two, in order for there to be reflection on the surface of the building, it has to have a light source to face towards.
Otherwise, it would be like the other surfaces of the building – completely black, dark.
In the same way, we need to ask ourselves as to what we are facing towards in life and what is the source we are facing?
The answers to these two simple questions will mean either our countenance will be bright or dark.

On the photograph: What can I say...simply awesome! You continue to outdo yourself with each "production".
On the words: I agree, if the source that we are facing is negativity, then only curses and darkness will result in our life; if positive, then blessings will overflow. I guess it is up to us which Way we want to face....B-)

This is an awesome shot Kairospix! There will be times when it is "dark" but as long as we continue to strive for the "light" we should be okay. I hope.

Love your compositions, your abstracts are second to none. The tones in the sky against the structure give the impression of a cut piece of cloth.

An other modern painting art. Amazing contrast between the sky and the light part of the building.
