Walking around Rome, enjoying people

Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin.

The building was the USA’s contribution to the INTERBAU 1957 building exhibition in Berlin. Designed by Hugh Stubbins during the Cold War it was intended to serve as a symbol and beacon of freedom.

Dedicated to Rod Monkey for introducing me to this stunning piece of architecture.

So, I've recently been away for a few days in Valencia with fellow Flickrite Tom Knowles, a four day quest to do nothing but photography and food. Over the coming days I'll be uploading a few of my favourite images from the trip.

First off was a surprise find - heading from the airport to the hotel we got off the Metro by coincidence at this stop and found a small part of Calatrava's work hidden underground!

Gran Hotel Los Arbetos (mono)

Typical architectural detail of Santiago Calatrava, the arches look like a futuristic cathedral. The design of the arches is also characteristic of Calatrava, playing with a harmonious contrast of light and shadow.

The church was damaged by fire on November 20, 2023. At least 100 firefighters responded to the scene. Smoke was visible high above the rooftops as crews tried to contain the flames. www.youtube.com/watch?v=32zRAMAEles

I went to Hamburg only for two days in December for professional reason. I knew it would not be a good weather, never is at that time of year. Though, it did not matter... Speicherstadt was waiting :) I took my tripod, cam, filters with me and tried my luck at evenings with some long exposures. I took my time to set for well exposed and composed images. Not an easy task with sodium lamps everywhere but enjoyed it very much despite rain falling and wind blowing.
