That’s also a shot that I wanted to do for a really long time… At first I wanted to use the other side of the building which was much brighter. But I like the high contrasts and the reflections on the facade here.
Hope you like it!

At the Orange Campus in Balma, I focused on the stark geometric patterns created by the modern architecture. The black and white treatment emphasizes the dynamic interplay of lines, creating an abstract study of light and shadow.
Another image of the new bridge raised by Santiago Calatrava in Valencia, inaugurated last week. The metal structure on the left is the last building that Calatrava is raising in the complex of the City of Arts and Sciences. It's called "The Agora", but to me it resembles the shape of a big monster hence the tittle of the photo.

Besalú, Girona.
Besalú es un municipio de la comarca de La Garrocha, en la provincia de Gerona, Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña, España. La población es un centro turístico gracias a su arquitectura medieval.
El puente de Besalú es un puente románico de entrada de acceso fortificada en Besalú que atraviesa el río Fluvià. Es protegido como bien cultural de interés nacional.
Se trata de un puente de forma angular de ocho arcos (el primero queda incluido dentro del sector correspondiente al recinto amurallado) desiguales, sobre pilares, muchos de ellos fundamentados en la roca viva, con tajamares. Al final del primer tramo, entre el cuarto y el quinto arco, hay un ensanchamiento de la calzada, la «cruz gorda», y más adelante, entre el sexto y el séptimo, hay otro, llamado la «cruz pequeña ». El sector más antiguo del puente (que se data del siglo XI o XII) parece que es el más cercano a la villa de Besalú: se pueden observar hiladas irregulares de pequeños sillares, similares a los que aparecían en las construcciones más antiguas de la villa. El portal de acceso, fortificado, está sobrepuesto al primer pilar del puente. Encima del quinto pilar, se levanta la torre fortificada, de planta hexagonal con dos arcos de medio punto superpuestos, por el lado de levante, y con un arco apuntado y aspilleras en la cima, por el lado de poniente.
En uno de los sillares del pilar central del segundo tramo, hay una piedra heráldica con la fecha 1680, lo que hace pensar en una restauración de gran envergadura o en una reconstrucción casi total del puente. El mismo año hay noticias de reparaciones en el molino harinero y el molino de paños, dañados por las inundaciones. Quizás el puente también quedó afectado y necesitó una buena restauración.
Besalú is a town and municipality in the county of Garrotxa, in Girona. It is located 150 meters above sea level and covers an area of 4.81 km². The town of Besalú, born around the hill occupied by the count's castle and the church of Santa Maria de Besalú, extends southwest of the confluence of the creek with the river Fluvià Capellades.
Bridge is a Roman bridge Besalú entry access Besalú fortified crossing the river Fluvià. It is protected as a cultural asset of national interest.
It is a bridge of angular eight arches (the first sector is included in the corresponding walled) uneven pillars, many of them based on the bare rock, with stems. At the end of the first section, between the fourth and fifth arch, there is a widening of the road, the "think big" and later, between the sixth and seventh, there is another, called "cross small. " The sector's oldest bridge (one that dates from Century XI or XII) seems to be the nearest to the town of Besalú: you can see rows of small irregular stones, similar to those that appeared in the oldest buildings town. The portal, fortified, is superimposed on the first pillar of the bridge. Upon the fifth pillar stands the fortified tower, hexagonal with two overlapping arches, the east side, with a pointed arch and loopholes to the top, to the west.
In one of the central pillar stones of the second section, there is a heraldic stone with the date 1680, which suggests a major restoration or reconstruction of the bridge almost complete. The same year Headlines repair the flour mill and the mill draper, damaged by floods. Perhaps the bridge was also affected and needed a good restaurant.
Not my best shot, but a must after my last post, where I wrote that star trails are caused by earth rotation (angular motion).
Of course any rotation of the camera will lead to circular star trails. You can therefore also rotate your mount to achieve the effect. That's what happened here when I initiated a turn with my flying mount.
You can see the turning path in the cloud cover below, while the roll caused the star trails.

El Arrecife de las Sirenas, es considerado como uno de los iconos más reconocibles de la provincia de Almería.
Se trata de un conjunto de chimeneas volcánicas en forma de afloramientos rocosos al pie del faro de Cabo de Gata, en el extremo meridional del parque natural.
Según la tradición, debe su nombre a los antiguos marineros que confundían los gritos de la foca monje del Mediterráneo (Monachus monachus), antigua habitante de estas rocas, con el canto de las ninfas marinas.
Bajando desde el faro pueden contemplarse los restos de un antiguo embarcadero y una pequeña cala de arena blanca que permanece sumergida durante las mareas altas.
In Madrid for 24 hours on business, but I managed to slip away just long enough to take some shots of the leaning towers of the Puerta de Europa. The two towers lean toward each other at a 15º angle; this is the Caja Madrid building and the sunset behind it, reflected in the windows of the Realia building.

Dès 1913 fut décidée la construction d'une église à cet emplacement. La première pierre fut posée en 1914 et l'on bâtit les fondations et une crypte sous la conduite de l'architecte niçois Castel. La mort de ce dernier et la Première Guerre mondiale entraînèrent l'abandon des travaux. En 1926, la construction reprit suivant les plans de l'architecte parisien Jacques Droz. Elle s'acheva en 1933.
L'utilisation de la technique du voile de béton armé, récente à cette époque, a permis une construction de style futuriste, influencée par l'Art nouveau. Trois grandes coupoles en forme d'ovoïdes sont supportées par quatre piliers et soutenues par huit autres coupoles de plus petite taille, ce qui permet l'établissement d'un impressionnant volume intérieur. À l'origine, les coupoles devaient être recouvertes de plaques de cuivre mais elles ne furent pas posées pour des raisons budgétaires.
Le clocher, haut de 64 mètres, à flèche élancée et ajourée est censé représenter le cierge pascal. Sa forme angulaire contraste avec les courbes des coupoles.
L'église est quelquefois surnommée la « meringue » en raison de sa couleur blanche.
Anciennement, le sous-sol de l'église abritait le cinéma Jeanne d'Arc dont l'entrée se trouvait rue Charles Péguy.
From 1913 it was decided to build a church on this site. The first stone was laid in 1914 and the foundations and a crypt were built under the direction of the architect Nice Castel. The death of the latter and the First World War led to the abandonment of the work. In 1926, the construction resumed following the plans of the Parisian architect Jacques Droz. It ended in 1933.
The use of the technique of reinforced concrete veil, recent at that time, allowed a futuristic style construction, influenced by Art Nouveau. Three large ovoid-shaped cupolas are supported by four pillars and supported by eight other smaller cupolas, allowing the establishment of an impressive interior volume. Originally, the cupolas had to be covered with copper plates but they were not put for budgetary reasons.
The bell tower, 64 meters high, slender and pierced arrow is supposed to represent the paschal candle. Its angular shape contrasts with the curves of the cupolas.
The church is sometimes called the "meringue" because of its white color.
Formerly, the basement of the church housed the Jeanne d'Arc cinema whose entrance was rue Charles Peguy.

Last photo of my small series "street photo" on the Champs-Elysées
A new shop under construction... No colors on the temporary facade, which was in faceted reflecting silver plastic sheet ... Just a little exercise in breaking down sunlight into three primary colors...
Effect which strongly depends on the time of day and the angular position of the photographer, allowing him to catch the colors diffraction.
Then, just to wait for “decisive instant”

Arrête-moi si tu peux !
Dernière photo de ma petite série "street photo" dominicale sur les Champs-Elysées.
Façade en travaux masquée par une "palissade"...
important : Pas de couleurs sur cette fausse facade à facettes, en plexiglass argenté “miroir”, réfléchissant la lumière... Seulement un exercice amusant de décomposition de la lumière solaire en trois couleurs primaires, qui dépend fortement de l'heure de la journée (orientation du soleil) et de la position du photographe par rapport à la façade prismatique.
Il y en a donc au moins deux qui doivent réfléchir en même temps pour construire cette image : Le mur et le photographe...
Et celui qui a la plus de mal à le faire, surtout en été, c'est obligatoirement le second...
I need to remember to sprinkle some architecture and urban detail into this stream from time to time... It's been a while :)

This was a "shocking" place to explore. Came across an abandoned farm and decided to stop. Noticed an electric fence around the property. We snuck under and quickly looked around and took a couple photos and then headed back to the car. My buddy touched some keys to the wire and confidently stated, "it is not electrified." Upon hearing his statement, I promptly reached down to lift the wire for another friend to go under and "ZAP!!!" So much for not being electrified.
