Photographer's Note
La Torre Calatrava fue construida como pieza simbólica junto al resto de la anilla olímpica, en la montaña de Montjuïc. Junto a la torre de comunicaciones de Collserola de Norman Foster, conforman el sistema de comunicaciones de la ciudad de Barcelona y su área metropolitana.
Barcelona vivió una explosión de arquitectura y renovación urbanística con motivo de los Juegos Olímpicos del 1992, y un ejemplo de ello es la torre de telecomunicaciones que Santiago Calatrava construyó, en plena anilla olímpica, para dicho evento. Esta torre fué un encargo de la compañía de telecomunicaciones nacional por aquel entonces, Telefónica de España S.A, para dar covertura a todo el mundo, de los Juegos Olímpicos celebrados en la ciudad condal.
Altura total: 136 m.
Año de construcción: 1992
Detalle de la base de la torre.

Calatrava Tower was built as a symbolic piece together the rest of the Olympic ring, in the mountain of Montjuic. Along with the communications tower Collserola by Norman Foster, make up the communications system of the city of Barcelona and its metropolitan area.
Barcelona experienced an explosion of architecture and urban renewal during the Olympic Games of 1992, and an example is the telecommunications tower built to Santiago Calatrava, in full Olympic ring, for that event. This tower was commissioned by the national telecommunications company by then, Telefonica SA of Spain, to give coverage to the entire world, the Olympic Games held in the city.
Overall height: 136 m.
Year built: 1992

ciao Charo,
bel gioco di linee architettoniche che si intersecano.
Mi chiedo cosa sarebbe stata con un bel cielo azzurro con qualche nuvoletta...
un caro saluto

Ciao Charo,
ottimo close up che mette in risalto sia un piacevole grafismo dato dal mosaico di rivestimento e anche delle geometrie, in particolare mi piace la doppia diagonale della struttura in cemento che forma quasi un triangolo.
Ben fatto!
Un abbraccio!

Oi Charo!
O resultado visual da composição com esses detalhes arquitetônicos ficou bem interessante e atraente!
Nitidez, exposição, ponto de vista escolhido, formato horizontal & retangular e moldura em preto & branco estão ótimos também!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Hi Charo
If you had to guess where this structure is you've have Barcelona high on your list. It is a fascinating structure and you've been creative in selecting your POV - good one.

Hola Charo,
recuerdo perfectamente este momento, en el que andábamos los dos buscando encuadres imposibles, intentando captar la bonita geometría de la obra de Calatrava.
Aquí conseguiste lo que querías, una buena foto en un encuadre cerrado, que juega con el grafismo de líneas y curvas de este interesante diseño arquitectónico para una torre de comunicaciones.
Bonito trabajo, y bonitos recuerdos.
Un fuerte abrazo para los dos,
Josep

Hola Charo,
buen encuadre del plano cerrado de la base de la torre de Calatrava en la anilla olímpica.
Destaca el trabajo en "trencadís" que Calatrava suele usar como usaba Gaudí.
Lástima que el tiempo no te acompañó y el cielo estaba gris.
Un abrazo,
Carlos

Interesting composition which exploits well the architecture detail of this tower. Even if I don't like modern architecture here I appreciate the graphic pattern created by those lines and curves.
Buona giornata,

A very nice detail of Calatrava tower. This photo has an architectural contrast (curves and straight lines, smooth blaster surface and mosaique, prevailing white color with green).
Sandiago Calatrava left some of his projects in Olympic Games of Athens city (2004) too.
