This past year I made a decision to appreciate my commute. After you've been doing it for awhile, you tend to gloss over any cool experiences or interactions.

So when the commute [route] is getting too familiar, I just raise my head higher and look over a wider field of view….
I was particularly intrigued by the video. The camera placement seems very precise. Are those shots the same times of day?
Our condo here in Boston has an eastward view of an imposing, reflective building called the Prudential Center (Pru), facing the afternoon-early evening sun (see stock photo).
I have considered setting up a camera with a daily timed trigger around 4 PM to photograph that reflective side of it every day of the year through all four seasons, and I thought about a poster display of all the shots.
A slide shot such as yours would be cool.

The daytime view is of the same side.
