A window at the end of a dark hallway looks out on rain and fog at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, California.
Escaping the rain and fog briefly, I wandered down a side hallway in the main rotunda at the Getty and saw this window at the end, with diffused light on the outside walkway, columns, fence, and other structures and blank fog and rain beyond. I like the contrast between the symmetry of the windows and the asymmetrical shapes outside, the converging perspective lines, the way the relatively brighter light on the outside structures goes almost completely white, and the reflected light in the interior walls.

Fantastic architecture Dan, I love the natural feel you have kept here!

Thanks, Steve. This was a trickier shot than it appears – there was a huge dynamic range between the shadows and the bright outdoor light.
