Agbar Tower Reflection on a 22 @ Building

Agbar Tower Reflection on 22 @ Building


To continue with the mirror series today I want you to look at Agbar Tower's reflection on a 22 @ District building. It is hard to photograph this tower by Jean Nouvel and still be original. I don't know how many pictures have been taken from this angle but following that rule of thumb I'd better stay at home. I had a great time this day. It was sunny and I was walking through this side of 22 @ district where buildings are about to be inaugurated and streets are still closed to traffic, so it was some kind of urban oasis (notice the contradiction). I had all the time in this world to stand in the middle of an intersection and shoot at the building. I recommend you take a look at these fantastic images of Agbar Tower by Desenfocado or by Bob.

Reflective Light Shaft in Barcelona Forum

Reflective Light Shaft in Barcelona Forum


If you visit the Barcelona Forum building (posted last April 20th) don't forget to step right under this beautiful light shaft with silver reflections bringing daylight to the lower gallery. Or maybe you prefer blue reflections as the ones in this old picture of mine taken a few meters away. These could have been just plain shafts but as you see aesthetics and practical design are not antagonical. Last but not least, remember that a virtual tour or a view of the big solar panel were also featured back in April this year.

While entering Barcelona Forum Area this weekend to visit the II Saló de la Xocolata, an event organized by prestigious chocolate companies to get in touch with the public (let's call it publicity campaign), we found this funny stiltwalker giving children a warm welcome. Here you have two more snaps in a different pose: 1 and 2.
