El Aeropuerto de Sondica, al que se le conoce tambiĆ©n con el nombre de la paloma, ya que evoca la majestuosa figura de un ave blanca, fue el primer proyecto que ganarĆa Santiago Calatrava para la ciudad de Bilbao. La nueva terminal de pasajeros, que cuenta en la actualidad con cinco fingers de embarque por los que se accede a los aviones, se distribuye entre un nĆŗcleo central y dos enormes alas laterales. El nĆŗcleo central se divide en cuatro niveles, Salidas, Llegadas, Servicios y Restaurante.
En el proyecto inicial se tuvo en cuenta la posibilidad de ampliar el aeropuerto hacia ambos lados por si fuese necesario. El edificio cuenta con una superficie de nada menos que 29.000 mĀ² para acoger tanto vuelos nacionales como internacionales. La entrada principal al Aeropuerto de Sondica, que simula la enorme cola del ave, da acceso interior al bello recinto.
La majestuosa cubierta, de forma triangular seƱalando las dos pistas de despegue y aterrizaje de entre dos y tres kilĆ³metros de longitud, tiene una altura final de 50 metros. Parte de la cubierta en varios niveles inferiores se diseƱaron para ser ecolĆ³gicas, ya que se revistieron de cĆ©sped natural que embellecen enormemente el exterior del edificio.
El enorme espacio interior que evoca la figura de un ave blanca y que parece alzar sus alas para comenzar a volar, posee una cubierta revestida enteramente de acero que aplicĆ³ la empresa Proimper con un sistema de impermeabilizaciĆ³n llamado āGrace Ice & Walter Shield IWSā.
Este proyecto consistĆa tambiĆ©n en renovar las infraestructuras cercanas mediante nuevos viales para dotar al aeropuerto de un mejor acceso y un nuevo edificio de aparcamientos para 1.500 plazas.
Posteriormente y debido a la necesidad de ampliar el aeropuerto, actualmente estĆ”n en construcciĆ³n las dos alas laterales que se habĆan previsto en un principio. Santiago Calatrava, en vez de continuar dichas alas en la misma direcciĆ³n hacia ambos lados, las inclinĆ³ en un Ć”ngulo de 30Āŗ hacia las pistas de despegue y aterrizaje.

is beneficial to many birds and critters of the forest,
but literally a pain in the 'where ever' to man.
My Italian grand daughter with our six pack of dogs.
On her recent visit to America, my Italian Grand daughter posed with our six pack of German Shepherds. She has done this on every visit since she was born. Enid and Koby were also born and raised in Italy before Rachel was born and were trained to watch her as a baby when they went on stroller walks in Italy. From left to right: Rachel Lucia, Koby-Teeth, Greta, Maximus, Brick, Heidi and Enid. "No animals or children were harmed during this photo shoot" :D
I have put this in Sepia tones to look like an old postcard as I collect old postcards of German Shepherds.
Also called Violet Passion Flower. This is a cross between Passiflora caerulea and Passiflora racemasa, created in 1824. Seen at the San Diego zoo Saturday.
Many thanks for your friendship, comments, invites and good wishes. Also thank you to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health and low energy I regret I can't respond in kind but nearly always manage to reply to your comments.
One invite welcome-more, too many.
I AM Nikon Full Frame freak...Had this image taken of my good friend buying his new Nikon D600 and Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED, just a while ago...Ain't it cool ?!!!...He's the most happiest man in Borneo right now and most definitely will capture beautiful images with it...Presently, he is keeping his good old Nikon D90 as his backup camera.
Happy Friday everyone and thank you for your comments and visits. Cheers, Ringgo.

Here is to you BP Oil....You tried to destroy it...but failed....Yes...Damage was done...People lost lively hoods...creatures died...BUT..The Gulf perservered and is doing well. Don't think that it has anything to do with the retribution you are paying with all those commercials that you have on TV.....When it comes down to it...it is the result of people that love where they have spent their whole lives and made their living. Here's to the PEOPLE....survivors ..in spite of what you threw at them....
