Farol > The Torre Agbar, or Agbar Tower, is a 33-story tower in Barcelona, Spain.  It opened in 2005 and has some unusual nicknames because of its shape.  It is covered with a facade of glass, and over 4,500 window openings;  and temperature sensors in the outside of the tower that regulate the opening and closing of the windows, reducing the consumption of energy for air conditioning.

Interesting reflections on this bright sunny day in Lexinton, KY.  I was biking through this city, and saw the tall glass buildings, so I pulled off and grabbed some shots.  This is a 3-exposure HDR image.  No idea of the exact location of this building, but it can be seen from quite a distance.
