Panorama Surprise

I hadn't taken a panorama in a while and my timing brought me across the Jackson Street Bridge right as daylight was creeping over town. I thought I would try pulling in some low-light images that weren't too blurry although I had to leave the shutter open for a while.

At first I wasn't too pleased because the captured light was significanty darker than what my eyes were experiencing. Looking at the spliced result, I didn't think I would find much of interest until I noticed the panes of glass missing on the Westin Hotel. This building is the tall cylinder with a white circle of light at the top. The smaller cylinder on the right side of the larger cylinder is a glass elevator. The elevator shaft lost more panes than the hotel rooms did.



If you hadn't heard, a tornado came through downtown one week ago tonight. It disrupted the SEC tournament that was being held (out of view) on the other side of these buildings at the Georgia Dome. The fabric roof was torn during the storm. Although a lot of windows were blown out and some cars were damaged, no one was seriously hurt.
