Overcast creates perfect lighting/sky combo for showing AT&T tower as desk ornament. Salt cellar? Ionic Breeze machine? Perfume bottle? Anyway, the shiny skin and artichoking of the top floors achieves a trivializing effect on a monumental scale. As I have spent time looking at downtown I have become increasingly impatient with this impassive moderne treatment. The bland stone of the Young Quinlan building in the foreground starts to look inspired in contrast. The skyway strains audibly as it tries to integrate the shallow sass of ornamentism and the stolid stone.
