April 12 - Valencia

The other side of Valencia...

This is the Palau de les Arts by Santiago Calatrava, a Valencian architect. It is an opera house, but also a performing arts center. Madame Butterfly was being staged when I was there. The whole area forms the City of Arts and Sciences, designed by Calatrava.

Calatrava's L'Hermisferic, also part of his City of Arts and Sciences project. It houses a planetarium & an IMAX theatre (that's why it looks like an eye).

Another view. The whole area is a beautiful park-like place, with lots of water around.

I just like this pic 'cos of its composition - all the shapes & colors. So dynamic.

Blue sky! I love the blue sky! (Yes, I also have this thing for blue skies.)
