The Oculus is situated at the World Trade Centre and is a massive shopping mall and rail station. Santiago Calatrava designed the structure to bring light down into the shopping mall and subterranean rail station. It's one of the most spectacular feats of architecture I've ever had the pleasure of not only to view from the exterior, but to roam about inside. One World Tower stands in the background catching the glorious afternoon sun.

Very futuristic building. Great capture of this sun blast.

Thank you for your kind comments and appreciation :)

Very spacy and futuristic... stylish post-processing!

Thank so much, the Oculus from this angle reminds me of a massive winged creature about to lift up and fly away!

Absolutely stunning

Thank you Stefnie, a truly stunning piece of architecture indeed!

Great shot. I've never heard of that building. Your choice of black and white is a good one as it makes the scene feel very futuristic

Thank you PattiC, it's an incredible structure both from inside and out :)

Congratulations on being the people choice award for my 241 Challenge. It was an exceedingly difficult choice for me to award the winner. There were so many wonderful pictures. Yours was one of my favorites. I am so glad you got the award.

Thank you for sharing your challenge Leo, I'm truly happy that you chose mine. I look at this photo, a symbol of resurrection after 911, now we must rise above COVID-19. I will be back, but until that time please take care from Australia! :))

Sorry I didn't make that clearer. Yours is the peoples choice award. Has Viewbug not gotten in touch with you to tell you of your award?
