The Eye of Knowledge

One of amazing architecture designs by Santiago Calatrava together with Félix Candela: Hemispheric Planetarium in Valencia (Spain). With the building’s reflection on the surrounding water pool, the building, and its reflection becomes an eye. The bottom of the basin is covered by a mirror to give the illusion. The planetarium itself is the center of the City of Arts and Sciences and called as the eye of knowledge. The whole concept blew my mind, after all, shouldn’t we have our eyes open to the knowledge and our surroundings?
What an amazing picture. Thank you!!!
And many thanks for your kind comment! Truly appreciate it 🙂
This blew my mind as well, Indah! Oh, yes, our eyes need to be open to SEE, yet so many eyes are not open. It takes courage to SEE. Bless you, Indah! Love, Amy
Thank you so much Amy! Well said, it takes courage to see! Hope you are having a great week!! Hugss
Fantastic image, you captured it perfectly to reflect the eye. It must be a wonderful building inside, too. 🙂
Thank you Jet! Unfortunately on the weekend we visited, the building was closed – not sure what was going on, we were lost in translation 😀
What a great concept! Stunning capture, as usual, Indah. And I love the moon peeking through the clouds too 🙂
It was a prefect timing with the moon and the clouds 😉 aah sometimes we need the nature to help photographers 😉 Thank you so much, and hope you are having a wonderful week 🙂
YOU have captured the building and reflection well – would love to see it
Thank you so much Diana! The building is very unique, Valencia is an interesting city to visit – it offers the old architecture to modern/futuristic style architecture 🙂
Amazing work!
wonderful shot!
Thank you! 🙂
