366 days prior, but looking the same

…one found residing among the innards of the concatenated hard drive array, the veritable data banks oft-forgotten.  I took this photograph 366 days ago at quite the end of 2007 - but edited just now. Don’t ask me why, that’s just the way it is.

Pertaining to the built environment and the foreground building - the Plaza Medical Building I believe - I kind of wish it was several stories taller. Two stories was not as far as it could have gone on the Plaza when they displaced the former swamp and pig farm. And even in those antediluvian times, it was said that with seven story buildings we had gone about as far as we could go. I, however, don’t really subscribe to that kind of fatalist view. Highrises! Skyscrapers! Were you aware there is a distinction between highrises and skyscrapers?
