Shadow
L'Àgora, City of Arts & Sciences, Valencia, Spain
Taken on the day I arrived in Valencia. Sun was shining brightly so I knew in advance anything I took was going to become B&W images. The shadows from the Science Museum supports drew my eye here so it was a case of trying to work out the composition and avoid having too many pedestrians in the shot.
L'Àgora is a multifunctional covered space designed by Santiago Calatrava. The building has a height of 70 m (230 ft) and occupies 5,000 m2 of space with an open ground plan resembling a pointed ellipse about 88 m (289 ft) long and 66 m (217 ft) wide. Depending on the configuration of the space, a maximum seating capacity for 6,075 people can be reached.
The building is a diaphanous large arena, with a glass roof along its spine and a movable structure to control the overhead natural light. The tall white steel rib-cage arches give the interior space an organic element, whereas the exterior is geometric and abstract, in day or when illuminated at night (Wikipedia).
