Up to the sky<\/a><\/p>\n

Leaving the office today morning after my night shift in NOC I saw a crane with a bunch of guys who were cleaning windows of our office building. Everything around was wet after the rain which stopped just few minutes before, a very cloudy sky with just patches of blue and cyan, and a bright rising sun combined with window cleaners caused me to feel off balanced. In order to compensate myself for the akward situation, I decided to make a picture.<\/p>\n

I usually think very slow and do all sorts of stupid things when I am pushed outside into bright morning sun after being hacking inside for the whole night, so the first thing I did was to put a polarizing filter on my lens. Yeah, right. Very smart move. Actually I wanted to put a lens hood, but go figure… Anyway, I think it came out pretty good after some minor Gimp manipulations.<\/p>\n
