    : ))))) "facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other" (william faulkner). i think this quote has nothing to do whatsoever with neither title nor picture, but i like it, and put it here on a whim ; )). – – you know, you really do get me with synesthesia: i've been seeing/associating colors with letters, numbers, days of the week etc. all my life!! greetings, sabine.

    Dear Sabine,
    I know the title might sound enigmatic...But there's a very easy explanation (and by saying that I'm going to spoil most of the titles of other pics...:-) ): in many cases I take a picture and I associate the atmosphere and feelings/memories connected to it with a particular song I like. I love music and every picture has a specif tune synesthetically linked to it. In some cases I explicitly report the song title (sometimes also with a youtube link to the song) and sometimes I just play with the words in the song title. It's a bit of a challenge to spot the original song name! :-) In this case the title refers to Blackberry winter by Keith Jerrett

    But again...it's nice to read different interpretations and I love yours more than the original explanation :-)

    they changed its name???? how obnoxious! will always remain the sears tower to me! well, i guess it's quite common these days to rip scenic places of their names ; )): we did have a "volksparkstadion" once, if i remember correctly. that was before it became the "aol arena", and then the "hsh nordbank arena", which it still is – or is it ; ))? well, anyhow: a beautiful view of the building formerly known as the sears tower ; ))! a great title, too – enigmatic at first sight, but then again not enigmatic at all, but quite plausible, because the buildings do in fact ooze this very businesslike, sleek, technological blackberry-age air. and i bet there's thousands of blackberries at work behind their facades, too! lg, sabine.

    Yep...it's the Willis tower now but nobody would call it like that!

    Is this the former Sears Tower? I always forget it's current name. :-|
