the world of Star Wars Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another Gaudi-related upload. Some people believe that the Clones Army uniforms in Star Wars were inspired by the chimneys on this roof.

Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera (Catalan for 'The Quarry'), is a building designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built during the years 1906–1910, being considered officially completed in 1912. It is located at 92, Passeig de Gràcia (passeig is Catalan for promenade) in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Hello Mariusz,
Very nice view on the apartments, the windows in the roof and the wonderful chimneys.
It's the perfect POV to show the most of La Pedrera.
Well done.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Mariusz, I really like this wide-angle view of La Pedrera, which looks almost like a Dali painting from this angle (it looks unusual from any angle!). Great colours too.
Well done, dobry bardzo.
cheers

Hi Mariusz,
Very nice capture of the famous worldwide place though it's a bit of a pity to seem some bandings on the sky. However, I like this strong perspective, contrast and very fine sharpness a lot.
Regards, Hisashi

Czesc Mariusz,
Te daszki a raczej ich ksztalty sa podobne do polskich, starych chat, tylko nie sa strzecha pokryte;)) Zabawny efekt- jak powyginane w PSie. Ciekawe miejsca wynajdywales. Ladny kolor nieba. Fota z klasa.
Pozdrawiam,
D.

Rewelacyjnie wykadrowane. Piekna kolorystyka.
Pozdrawiam

Hej Mariusz,
Gaudi, Gaudi... tego Panu zazdroszczę!
Mi niestety w te wakacje nie będzie dane nic zobaczyć.
Muszę jechać do PL na miesiąc (problemy zdrowotne w rodzinie).
Szlag by to... :(
Pozdrówki i gratuluję pięknej nastrojowej kompozycji!

Hey, I would never have thought in that possibility but now that you mention it, it is a quite admissible argument if we compare the shapes of the chimneys and the aspect of George Luca's clones helmets.
I like a lot the use you have made of the wide angular lens.

Cheers

Felip

Bonjour Mariusz.
C'est toujours un plaisir de contempler une œuvre de Gaudi. Ici le plaisir est décuplé par l'excellente composition et le POV dont tu as fait preuve.
Excellent !
