snapshots and observations

the guggenheim museum, bilbao.








have you ever been to the guggenheim museum in bilbao ?
it's one of the most incredible buildings i've ever seen.
i can't think of a more photogenic building... or one which can be photographed
in so many different ways, different angles etc.
it suits bilbao perfectly, sitting alongside the river, bang in the middle of the city.
from certain angles it looks like ships, from others maybe it looks like the surrounding hills ?
not only does it look different from a variety of viewpoints but it also seems to be
different colours at different times of the day. 

you don't need me trying to explain it so have a look on the internet or get
yourself over to the wonderful city of bilbao, visit the museum and get the free
audio guide... it explains all about frank gehry's thinking.

so... having said that the guggenheim looks to be different colours at different times,
let me show you a few photos i took of it... in black and white.

i don't think that captions are necessary so just have a quick butchers at the photos.
