I had to walk a half block past the building it is painted on, marauder my way through a corporate towers’ garden & mud to find a spot where I could capture this masterpiece.

I shot fast, as I figured I might be asked to leave the private property.

This is the only real vantage point for amateur photographers, and therefore tourists to capture this wonder. So, I think whatever corporation owns the property should build a walkway for us. It’s just a thought.

Blow up the above pic, & see the biggest shot I was able to take. That was due to a very narrow sidewalk, and very heavy traffic.

In between bouts of Space Cowboy, I can hear the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
