This photo was taken at 9:13PM CST from roughly the same spot. The moon is just entering total eclipse. Click to enlarge.

The Corn Exchange, Leeds, UK



Today's photo is of The Corn Exchange in Leeds, England (click to enlarge). Built in the mid 1800's, the building was originally used as (surprise) a corn exchange. It was converted into shops in the 80's (fetching a strong patronage from counterculture clients) and is currently being renovated (i.e., ruined) into a food plaza. It is a beautiful building.
