Some structures are designed so they are not beautiful creations of architecture, but are also dynamic and changing. One of the ways to achieve this effect is by light and color, that every night transform buildings like the ones you are about to see into unique and exceptionally beautiful structures. Have a look at some of my favorites, and click on the photos to see them after dark...
