beckman auditorium at night
this photo needs little explanation. a photo of the beckman auditorium at caltech, taken the other night before the wailin' jennys concert. that fountain just pops, doesn't it?
OMGoodness! What a monument to 60s architectural thought! I haven't seen images of this building before. It is amazing. And yes, the fountain does pop. Love the cool pendant lights, too. Something tells me Virginia in Alabama would not favor these columns over the ones she's featuring today. And a scalloped roof. . .incredible. Thanks Ben. I'm going to have to go see this. -Kim
Isn't that a stunning photo. The night shot really makes the viewer focus on the lacy edge and the gradual transition of the columns just blending into the roof. The fountain is an added bonus. Super job, Ben.

Glad you like it! Certainly made me do a double take when I saw it on my computer for the first time.
A great shot of an example of a modern building of today!
