Description

(((~~ TRAVEL & PLACE ~~))
~~CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE FINALIST FOR THE MONTH OF JULY AND GOOD LUCK NEXT ROUND~~
Long before Frank Gehry won international renown, back in the days when he still lived in Toronto, he had another name. He was called Goldberg then, and he was a lonely little kid who, on the floor of his living room, liked to fashion wood scraps from his grandfather's hardware store into houses and roads and entire towns. It was, he has said, the time when he took his first steps on the path that would eventually lead to the reputation he enjoys today as one of the world's most original architects. Along the way, he managed to make many marvels, among them a law school in Los Angeles that exudes quiet dignity, a cultural centre in Paris that almost dances, a whimsical office building in Prague, an exuberant museum in Minneapolis and a gem-like little restaurant in Kobe, Japan.

Another Gehry fan! A great image of a stunning work, Dominick. What a great time you must have had in Bilbao. It's still on my wish list, but we did see "Fred and Ginger" in Prague this year. #7862657

I have seen close up shots of this fabulous building, but never one from this perspective ! I love the golden light and being able to se the whole neighborhood makes this special Dominick! Frank Gehry is one of my favorite architects, his buildings are so flowing and sensual :-) I have been to the one in LA a couple of times, it is such a photographers Paradise! #7867840
