Big Sister's Watching - a photo on Flickriver

This is a shot from a few weeks ago when I was borrowing the Canon 8-15mm fisheye, shot at 14mm. I am always admiring those shots from guys like Seth Oliver of reflections off of park benches and other objects around the city. When I saw this puddle in Crown Fountain, I wanted to try the same type of thing.

Earth Hour
Earth Hour is tomorrow night. Many of the city's buildings, including most of the skyline, will be turning off their lights from 8:30 to 9:30 tomorrow night. Any good ideas for where to go to shoot this? I imagine there will be a lot of you down at Adler planetarium. I think it's the lights that make the skyline look as good as it does, but this is an opportunity that only comes around once a year. Maybe this is a good time to shoot from the Hancock? What do you guys think?
