If you are a regular (thank you if you are and welcome if you are new through the Project Black!!) you know I live outside Barcelona in Spain, which is the world's greatest urban concentration of Modernist or Art Noveau architecture. This movement is characterized by amazing combinations of curved surfaces, as opposed to harsh corners and straight lines. An example of this is my above picture of a Gaudi black street lamp in central Paseo de Gracia. On the same picture and below in the middle you see another Gaudi work: La Pedrera.
Coincidentally, that's where I will be tonight enjoying the show "La Pedrera at night" with a jazz concert and drinks. Yes: I will be wearing black !
Hope I am not in trouble by allowing myself to reproduce the ad for the show you see on the left, I thought it matches the current black project very well! (It's a gif image and it isn't working, sorry about that, I will try to fix it later on can't fix it...but you can see the original ad if you click on the pic, then scroll down the page a bit)
I LOVE Gaudi's creations. I really became aware of him through YOU, Mar...Those BEAUTIFUL Buildings in Barcelona--The Curves...Most unusual and he never ceases to amaze!
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a great time at The Jazz Concert!
Oh! This is a first for me and I love it! Can I have that in my yard? (I don't have a yard, but if I did have a yard, I would want that right at the end of my sidewalk!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost a pity for night to fall to hide that beautiful streetlight.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE the lines in that ad! Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.
Hi Mar!!!!
ReplyDeletePersonally, black is one of my favorite colors to wear. There is just something about it that makes it dramatic or serious or even classy.
Hope you enjoyed the jazz!!! [And the drinks!!!]
That is SOOOOOOME street lamp! WOW!
ReplyDeleteThat is cool... it makes the modern one behind it look so out of place. Hope you have a wonderful time at the jazz concert. Have a drink for me ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like the contrast between this street lamp and the one behind it, as JC said. Wonderful capture for this project!
ReplyDeletegorgeous artsy stuff. love it!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter spent a summer studying in Barcelona. What a gorgeous place! A photographer's paradise.
ReplyDeleteLove the lamp post. And have fun at the concert!
Very cool! I love all of the lines (and the blue sky of course.) hehe
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Mar! Hope you enjoy your evening!
ReplyDeleteYour life always sounds like on big vacation, being in Barcelona would be for most of us.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Michele, by the way? She is still sending us around from the background.
could that be called lattice work? I'm terrible at correct terms
ReplyDeletebut I do know what looks beautiful :)
enjoy the concert
Love the curves and the artistry. You have chosen perfect subjects for black. Have fun wearing black at the concert...
ReplyDeleteWhat is Project Black? Is it something that alot of bloggers are doing or just you? Sounds like fun!
