Water Tower, a photo from Zaragoza, Aragon

Photographer's Note

Hello friends,

The Water Tower is a 76-metre-high tower built at the Expo 2008 site in Zaragoza. It was designed by Enrique de Teresa and constructed of concrete, steel and glass.
It consists of a transparent structure erected in a droplet-of-water shape over a big three-storey basement.

In the WS another view of the tower

Hola Sergio

Excellent sharpness & well managed perspective with splendid graphism. Good warm cold colour contrasts between the red & blue tints in the sky. Superb shadow detail & I like the angled pov showing both lit & unlit. Tfs!

Bonjour Sergio,
ce n'est pas le côté le plus ensoleillé du building que tu nous proposes, il apparaît un peu en contre jour, mais aucun détail ne manque.
Un cadrage qui laisse de la place à un bien joli ciel.
Regards.
Daniel.

Really a unique view on town, Sergio, I wonder if you ment that it contains water, or just appear as a droplet-of-water? did not grasp that.
Fine outlines - as always you do, with nice view over.
Buenas tardes,
Ike

Ciao Serio,
notevole la pulizia e l'eleganza dell'immagine.
Il "Water Tower" è architettonicamente molto bello con queste sinuosità molto attraenti, e mi piace molto il suo contrasto col cielo blu.
Un caro abbraccio

Hola Sergio,
las formas y las suaves curvas de este edificio le dan un atractivo muy especial, y en este encuadre lo has captado con solvencia gráfica.
La luz y las sombras enfatizan esas formas, y dan una gran calidad estética al conjunto.
Después de la Expo ¿tienen uso estos edificios? porque su belleza no puede obviar su funcionalidad.
Buena foto, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello Sergio,

This is a smart and elegant architecture with good shape, so it's impressive to see the tall building with curved line. The whole is managed well by good light effect and harmonized well by excellent tone/clarity.

Kind regards,
mikio

Hello Sergio !

A stunningly new looking tower, the plans of the tower probably resemble the shape of a water droplet, which means that the side of the tower that we do not see has a curve linear elevation. I find the texture of the tower to be most attractive. All the horizontal planes, and the diagonal lines create a web like appearance. It is very amazing that they are now able to make all the necessary parts, which can be fit together without any inconsistency, with the help of CAD, Computer Aided Design. The tower is very elegant, and the chosen point of view works very nicely. The well and carefully corrected vertical perspective is a pleasure to look at. The chosen shadow side of the tower is superbly exposed; it’s a very subtle touch, very nicely done.

With my very best and warm regards,
Have very creative days ahead, Sergio
Nobu.

Hola Sergio and many thanks for your visit.
You pay a nice tribute to the architect who designed such a stylish reservoir that triumphs over blue skies for an outstanding instructive poster.
Hasta luego.
