"EDIFICIO AZUL".
Created for the Artistic Manipulation Group's MIXMASTER CHALLENGE #26.
CHEF Beth challenges us to create an architectural, urban artwork. Here are the ingredients:
➤ The focus of your image must be on urban architecture.
➤ It must include at least one reflection.
➤ And use light in an interesting/creative way.
➤ Your use of color, in general, must be subtle, not bold.
➤ NO REAL PEOPLE (statues and mannequins are okay as long as they're of minor importance).
"Thank you all my kind Flickrs Friends. Your comments and invitations are much motivating and appreciated".

This is a part of the famous Rugby School a lovely building that I came by last week on my way home.

Thankyou for the visits and kind comments.
Happy Thursday
The Flevo building is located on the Achtergracht in Zwolle and is a municipal monument from 1898.
For a long time the craft school was located here, later the IJsselmeer Polders Service was housed and hence plans for the Flevopolder were put into execution. Then the building was called 'Flevogebouw'. (Source: wikipedia).

Just from looking at this picture, I know that the weather in Pittsburgh on that late evening was : 66-79 degrees (19-26C); with less than .25" precipitation; humidity less than 50%; and, wind less than 10mph!!
The 1932 Art Deco style building with the "mausoleum-like" cap is the Gulf Tower. The colored bands at the top of the building are coded to correspond to the local weather. Colors will change, depending on the current weather conditions. Now, if only I can remember what all of the color combinations mean... .

Yick Cheong Building has two courtyards - this is the second one (different from yesterdays post).
Besides the access challenge, I was shooting during a tropical storm and trying to shoot between torrential downpours.
Metal railings that visually create a sense of flow…
Observing the dense railings from the outside seems to be safe and sturdy. Standing in the building, so many iron railings, the vision should be very different. You know…XD
Many buildings in Taiwan,
Must rely on metal railings,
Let the residents feel safe.
金屬的欄桿，在視覺上產生流動感…
從外面觀察密集的欄杆，似乎是安全堅固。站在建築物裡面，這麼多鐵欄杆，視覺應該很不一樣。你知道的…XD
台灣許多建築物，
必須依賴金屬欄杆，
讓住戶得到安全感。

Hagia Sophia was a church, later became a mosque and now a museum - the scaffold is there for about 20 years as ongoing preservation works.
En elke dag zijn ze nog steeds bezig met het afmaken van de droom van Gaudi.
And every day they are still busy finishing the dream of Gaudi.
