Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias

The City of Arts and Sciences (La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) in Valencia is a spectacular and imposing space designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava. This centre for leisure and culture, with its avant-garde architecture, is set firmly within the 21st century. At the Hemisfèric one can see the very latest Imax films; there is also a planetarium and an innovative laser show. The Príncipe Felipe Science Museum is located in a spectacular building and offers exhibitions where touching is permitted and where visitors can run all sorts of fascinating hands-on experiments. The Oceanogràfic reproduces all the ecosystems on the planet, with an astounding diversity of flora and fauna. The Palau de les Arts, with its spectacular oval-shaped design, is the place for seeing the best operas, concerts and stage performances. Lastly, the Ágora. This building was designed as a multifunctional, versatile space, suitable for hosting various different types of events.

Outstanding modern architecture allowing excellent photography. But in this picture we have a superbly composed image requiring patience for the capture, or only the help from "the muses" just to be there for the unique instant pressing the camera shutter. VVV.

The silhouettes make it a strong composition.

A very striking series of images which inspires me to return to Valencia. A single night there, 10 years ago, only allowed us a very rushed visit.

Love the way you used the structure to frame the scene.
Bikers are a great addition to this composition.
