Parc del Laberint in Barcelona. I already have several posts about this romantic park situated in Horta quarter. I like those kids playing hide and seek somewhere inside the maze. I hope tomorrow or this weekend I have plenty of time for fresh topics. I must go on a tour around Barcelona soon to replenish the archives.

Reflections on New Building near Plaza Cerdá

Reflections on New Building near Plaza Cerdá

Today I will just post another reflection this time on a building which is part of a big project in Barcelona called Ciutat Judicial or City of Justice just in front of Plaza Cerdá in Hospitalet de Llobregat. A group of new high rising buildings will be the headquarters of the main judicial bodies in Barcelona. Built on the same place where the old Caserna de Lepant or Lepant Military Headquarters used to be, they should be finished by 2009. The skyline of Barcelona will push a little higher to impress those entering the city via the airport highway.

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.
