The Shangri-La from my window (10x zoom to frame it up)


My photo, taken January 27th, 2008.

Bils, nice work with my original shot looking down Georgia. Perhaps it is a big question but what did you do to the lighting in the picture? It looks great. You lit up the shadows and brought out a lot more warmth.

I'm curious, how long would you say before we see people actually moving in, and the hotel opening up? A year or more? The closest I'll get to the inside is the hotel lobby, so I can't wait for that

I'm guessing it won't be like the Trump Chicago which is opening in February, despite there still needing to be another 30 or so floors built.

Thanks

I'm sure that makes the people who purchased originally very happy, the funds required to purchase any of the assigments are enormous. They'll be rolling in the dough

Are you trying to piss us off for fun, are you on drugs, or both?
