Hyperspectral

It must've been Mies?
Nah, it's more Philip Johnson:
Mondrian x Pei

One Single Impression: Prompt 75: Windows

It's a mysterious 50 foot tower behind St. Mary's 06830. 1960-ish. Brown brick dead walls North and South. And between, vertiginous titanium girders with glass sheets like a Brobdingnagian collection of saturated theater gels.

    I admit that I am lost! I thought of Mies van der Rohe then fell apart!

    Your poem made me smile! Love the pun and Jim's response to it.

    Uh oh...I am lost. lol...but it has nothing to do with your poem and everything to do with my own ignorance! I just looked those names up, though, so I am learning something today. :~)

    glass houses -- reminds me of the Billy Joel album, and Dulles International Airport.

    Entombed in glass.

    Such a unique take on windows! Pei squared.
    On a clear day, the images reflected in glass towers are magical.
