Inside the Pantheon looking up. The hole in the center of the ceiling is called the Oculus and the squares decorating the dome are called coffers. There you learned something about architecture.
Really difficult to get a good photo inside this building. The camera has a hard time metering the light because it is dimly lit indoors even though the sunlight enters through the top. And even though you cannot see anyone in this photo it is very crowded and hand-holding this shot while tourists bump into you was no easy task.
Mai, non saprete mai come m'illumina
L'ombra che mi si pone a lato, timida,
Quando non spero più...

Workers begin preparations to install a new oculus in the Rotunda as part of continuing renovations.
¡Pues a mà me gusta!
Una de las nuevas referencias (de los iconos, que se dice ahora) de Nueva York es el intercambiador construido en parte de lo que fue el World Trade Center.
Como viene siendo norma en las obras del genial Calatrava, esta ha provocado una notable polémica por los sobre costes, defectos de ejecución, alguna que otra visible chapuza, incumplimiento de los plazos, etc., etc.
No sé, ni me importa demasiado, cuanto hay de verdad en esas crÃticas, bastante similares por cierto a las que hubo en su dÃa por la obra del hoy visitadÃsimo Brookling Bridge, lo que sà sé es que a mà el Oculus me gusta y me impresiona. Es verdad que me interesa mucho más por dentro que por fuera, sobre todo porque siempre me da la impresión de que la alineación no es la correcta. En todo caso, me alegra pensar que en unos años estará incorporado como uno de los clásicos imprescindibles del circuito turÃstico de la ciudad.
Winged dove or beached whale carcass? These are just two of the descriptions being used for the $4 billion structure that encloses the World Trade Center Transportation hub in New York.
Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, I think it is a beautiful glass and steel structure. Consider it a modern - very modern - Grand Central station update. People still gaze in awe at Grand Central and people will still gaze at this structure for decades to come.
