So I Saw a Building...woo.

So this morning I was walking home from class and I was passing through UTC, and I was near Chipoltle when I looked ahead toward University Tower (I think that's what it's called). Anyway, its a building that I pass by several times a day, and despite the fact that it is the tallest building in the center by a significant margin, I almost forget that it is there most of the time. Today however, I noticed how the morning light caught the right side of the building, the diffused sunlight producing a pale glow against the grey exterior of the building. The front side was still well lit but was notably more shadowed that the right side. The contrast in light on these two sides of the building gave this otherwise bland and forgettable bit of architecture a somewhat imposing look as it stood high above the center. I found it kind of odd and interesting how the shadowing of the front of the building evoked a similar emotional effect as if I were to have seen a person's face shadowed in a similar way. Sorry I don't have a picture, but it probably looks this way most mornings.
