Dancing House Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Dancing house is a nickname for this building, of which the photo only displays half. If you look at the building as a whole, it really looks like a dancing couple. As this photo displays the female part, you could say you're looking under her skirt :-)
The house is also often called Fred & Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers). This building was designed by Czech architect Vlado Milunic and Canadian architect Frank Gehry and was completed in 1996.

Hello Gerd

good intimate moment :-) . I like your unusual POV and I am quite happy you have mentioned Vlado Milunic, most people talk about it as if it was only Gehry's work.

Best regards
Romana

Interesting name for this building and quite interesting POV since it is under the woman's skirt! The building is wonderfully placed against the sky and it takes its color! Very good work! Thank you for sharing! Regards Stella
