North of Amtrak/SEPTA/NJT 30th Street Station Philadelphia, this reflection of the sky shows a building hiding behind the upper level commuter tracks. It is Cira Centre, the tallest building in Philadelphia. The new skyscraper is connected by an enclosed pedestrian skyway to the commuter concourse though which one can walk down to the lower level main waiting room. I love the look of the building in daylight.

Hey, Mike,
Thanks for the link, but I think you may have missed my complaint. I LOVE the Cirra Centre. It's a dramatic crystal mirage, emerging above an ugly trainyard. What my complaint was about was the traffic flow around the building, which is bound to get worse still. Approval was just given to build Cirra Centre SOUTH, a 2-tower structure combining a 30 story mirror image of cirra #1 and a 50 story residential tower. These 2 new buildings will go on the south side of 30th street station, next to the post office. But thanks again for the comment!!!
