13:365 Spelling Errors
This is the Merchants National Bank Building in Mobile, Alabama. If you will look closely, the word building is spelled with a "v" and not a "u". I took this photo because of that, but I was plesantly surprised by the wonderful reflection that I caught in the windows.
The building was built in 1929 and it is a skyscraper that was once the tallest building in Mobile. This is theme #297 Spelling Errors.

The V is common on building with roman aspects as that was the letter the romans used as in Jvlivs Ceasar
Pretentious but legit.
Wow, super good eye! I would have never noticed that! Beautiful image of the building (with the mis spelled word)! :)
Thank you so much, Ron. I looked around on the internet to find a reason for the "v", and I couldn't find anything. Your explanation is exactly right because the building has Roman influence.
Phenomenal!! The color and clarity are amazing as are the reflections.
The reflection is a pleasant surprise. Wonderful photo.
I have seen some words with the "V" in them also, and i questioned that idea then too. But it seems there have been quite a few movies lately that included Roman and Spartan writings. This is a great shot.
lol bet that ruined a grand opening!
I love the reflection and all those lines!

i just found your blog under a search for a 365 photo challenge.
i'm a completely unprofessional girl with a camera that wants to get better at taking pictures ... wondering if you could give me any insight as to how you joined a 365 group? and how you decided upon the themes. i think it is a terrific idea and would love to hear more about it. by the way ... gorgeous pictures.

This is a fantastic shot and a terrific one for the theme. Well done, Clara!
