The Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Musuem. The design resembles a birds wings. Here they are fully extended to resemble a bird in flight, in the evening they drop all the way down to signify a bird at rest. Shot at sunset.

I googled Santiago Calatrava and found it very interesting. He's quite the architect and your photo is magnificent in displaying his fine art/architecture. Thanks for spurring my interest and increasing my knowledge. Very good post Rich. Once again I'm first. I actually do sleep. Colors and angle are really good. The sun shining through his birdlike wings make for a great sight. Have a good Sunday.

Well second to B & W, I love pastel colors. A wonderful symmetrical image Rich.

I noticed some noise in the background. Neat Image is a good noise reduction software & there's a free version that can be downloaded. I probably would have bumped up the contrast some to bring out the bird sculpture more.

Very nicely presented too Rich ~ I love images about art.

Those pinks and blues are very pleasing and what an interesting sculpture. Does it look like a bird from the other side?
