Captured with the Rodenstock 50mm Digaron lens and about 13mm of vertical shift to maintain the geometry (but several architectural features - setbacks and tapers in the building design - still make it appear to converge toward the top).
Pittsburgh's 42 story "Cathedral of Learning" houses offices and classrooms for the University of Pittsburgh. Completed in 1937, it took 11 years to construct. It remains the tallest academic building in the US.
The lobby is also gorgeous, and worth a visit.

@mattblaze I learned something there once as a woman freshly married, a college grad, and an auditor, in Pittsburgh for only a year. It's what kicked off a passion for writing. I also met my first mentor. And yes, It's beautiful.

@mattblaze Is it just me or does that angle make it look like it is leaning slightly to the right (it's left)?

@mattblaze I remember waiting for ages for the elevators.

I really like the concept (and execution here) of a secular cathedral. It satisfies our urge to build great monuments without the requirement to accept any particular dogma.

@ChuckMcManis The angles are a monster. None of the lines are actually vertical.
