Hundertwasser Service Station Photo

Photographer’s Note

For a change of pace, here is a service station along the freeway, designed by Fritz Hundertwasser, the Austrian Gaudi. Tourists in Vienna usually visit the Hundertwasser Haus, but this one is less known, but no less significant in its concept. His designs drive tradesmen crazy when building, since nothing is square. He described himself as: "Der Mann ohne Winkelmass".

Very cool shot. This place looks like it could be in Toontown (either the movie or the section of Disneyland). What a marvelous architect, I would love to hire him. A good selection of a subject and a good job depicting it.
