Arts and Sciences
Pre-dawn photos of Valencia City of Arts and Sciences, I missed the blue hour in the evening because my flight from Sofia landed long after sunset, this place had been on my list of places to photograph for a long time, I tried to make the best of an early morning when some of the buildings were not directly lit. Flickr has been selecting the oddest photos to be on top lately. Anyway, more to come from this morning shoot session.

The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències; Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the most relevant in Spain.
The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last great component of the City of Arts and Sciences, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, was presented on October 9, 2005, Valencian Community Day.
