StairWay To Heaven Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken in the space Of Philharmonie Luxembourg 25 second exposure

"The Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte Concert Hall (French: Salle de Concerts Grande-Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte), known more usually as the Philharmonie Luxembourg, is a concert hall in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The hall is located in the Kirchberg quarter, in the north-east of the city. Its principal tenant is Luxembourg's national orchestra, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra.
Designed by French Pritzker Prize-winner Christian de Portzamparc, the building is in the shape of an oval, and its external appearance is provided by a colonnade screen formed by 823 steel columns.[1] Stretching 126 metres (384 ft) at maximum length, and 109 at maximum width, the building dominates the Place de l'Europe.
The Philharmonie Luxembourg is one of a series of major public cultural centres built by the Luxembourgian government in recent years. The project was launched in 1995, the year in which Luxembourg City was last European City of Culture, with a view to it being completed by the time Luxembourg would hold the honour (which, unknown at the time, it did in 2007)."

Hi Rastislav,

You really can name your picture staircases to heaven. It looks like that, in particular as there is the shadow on top of the stairs. Very well framed contrast of reddish-yellowish vs. dark blue. Great DOF and sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

ciao Rastislav,

I love the contrast between the blue hour sky and the golden tones of artificial light.
a great plus here are the modern geometries....it makes the whole compo looking like some kind of starship....climbing a stairway to heaven

ciao

Hello Rastislav

I've enjoyed watching your graphic series about this monument. I like the blurred character i this one which gives it an eerie, surreal touch.

Congratulations

Emmanuel
