Went to my original location of shooting but unfortunately the place is close for renovation.
Good thing I did my assignment beforehand, drove to the nearest spot, arrived in there just in time for the last light.
In any circumstance, a back up plan is favorable than none.
Nikon D3 + Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 with 6 stop ND

Good back up plan + good gear = good shot!
Did you consider keystoning your photograph?

Just out of interest, what is keystoning?

Keystoning may be a non destructive operation by which vertical and horizontal
lines are rendered back to their normal relative angles in a given perspective.

May be non destructive towards the quality of the picture but, always, there is
a price to pay in pixel count, ultimately, in the consequent crop to re-establish
the right angled frame of the picture.

Using a tilt shift lens is also a great way of ensuring straight verticals. Its important that on the horizontal plane the camera is absolutely level...

Having a tilt shift lens will be superb, but unfortunately I don't have it :)

Straightening the verticals so that objects in the image don't appear to be falling backwards.

Thanks guys for the added info! Will have to learn that keystoning next time! :)

Glad to help!
This is to illustrate what Toni and I meant:
Here, I kept the original frame ratio 2:3 but you could make the decision to change it! …say to 1:1 or other.

Without a PC/TS lens, you're not doomed! Just leave enough room around your subject
to spare some picture real-estate and learn keystoning.
