The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
Lens: Sigma 1.4/30 Camera: K5 Photo Location: Bilbao Spain ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F10 
Posted By: volley, 12-07-2014, 09:48 AM

The first time I visited Bilbao was back in 1990 or 1991. Back then the abandoned old shipyards and the harbour were terrible places and the river was basically dead.
Unbelievable which development took place here! Today people can swim again in the river (I was told) and the wonderful Guggenheim museum has replaced the old industrial ruins.

I really like how you captured the architectural designs here Norbert with wonderful tones, curves, reflections and colors. Lots to view here and you brought it out very well.

It has almost a inhuman feel to it. Such big buildings... But you did them justice with these night shots!

Outstanding photos of some amazing architecture, my friend. I've always wanted to visit the Guggenheim but never had the opportunity. Thanks for giving me a "taste."
