Let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven...
I took this the same night I took the Houston Panorama. I was fascinated by the orange glow of the JPMorgan Chase Building, so I stowed my 24-105mm and whipped out the 70-300mm for a close-up shot before I left.
JPMorgan Chase Building is a 37-story 130 m (430 ft) Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Houston, Texas. Completed in 1929, it remained the tallest building in Houston until 1963, when the Exxon Building surpassed it in height. The building is the Houston headquarters of JPMorgan Chase Bank, and was formerly the headquarters of Texas Commerce Bank.
The title quote is from the Book of Genesis, 11 verse 4, concerning the tower of Babel.
