Torre Agbar by night, a photo from Barcelona, Catalogne

Photographer's Note

Jean Nouvel´s new skyscraper hosts "Aguas de Barcelona" headquarters. It´s located in the next developement area in Barcelona, and became a new icon for Barcelona, before, during and after its construction.
From 20.00 to 00.00, the building lightens in the way you can see on the picture, but leds can combine and mix different colours on the facade. During the day,before darkness comes, Sun gives it, a different appearence, depending on the perspective you look at it.

Hi Miguel,
I suppose that's the colors of Barcelona...
By the way, tonight there is a football match against Benfica!
Great tower and light as well. The picture is a bit tilt and it would have been better with more black around.

I made a workshop.
Regards.

Hi Miguel,
I like the way that you filled the frame entirely with this tower, with the tip of the tower almost bleeding off the top of the image. By the way, I'm sure it's been said, but this tower especially reminds me of a giant condom in Barcelona colors. ;-)
Have a great day!
José

Strangely shaped but very nicely colored skyscraper. I am not very familiar with all the creations of Jean Nouvel although his name is well known.

All the best,

Emmanuel
