LANDMARK

The IPL building in downtown Indianapolis is something of a landmark, known for the displays it creates with window lighting. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument at the foreground right in photo is possibly the most recognizable landmark in downtown Indy although I would bet a lot of people only know it as "The Circle" rather than by the name of the monument on the circle.

I tightened up the crop on the photo after the fact. The gradient appearance of the lights is a natural resulting glow caused by the windows being recessed in the building front.

  8. Do you have more of these? The flag behind the monument is fabulous - interesting design of the building to be able to do the light displays - and a nice clear image for a night photo
