The See-Through Skyscraper

Quote:
Once in a while, however, when the light and the angles are just right, a skyscraper can come close to vanishing.

That happened last Thursday, when the 52 floors of 7 World Trade Center faded into the cloud-flecked blue of a late summer afternoon.

@Robert Gentel,
Sadly, birds crash into these types of buildings even when they aren't fully transparent. I imagine it is even worse when they seem to vanish (sorry to bring a downer note to the phenomena).
