    A superb shot of this great building......a real tribute to all who had a hand in the concept and building. The light and colours here are superb, as is the depth and detail.

    Das Foto selbst ist fantastisch
    wie sich der Himmel mit den Wolkenformationen über der bizarren , farbigen , sicher statisch schwierig herzustellende Architektur abhebt Alexander
    best wishes Sina
