Frank Gehry’s Fish
Another very hot summer day in Spain. Well, this photo was taken on a wet, cool and windy day in April. The longer I stay in Spain, the more I love rain! They promised us some for today, but nothing yet but heat, sun and more heat.
This is Frank Gehry’s Fish in the Port Olimpic. 35 x 54 meters of steel lattice and copper. It is situated in a zone full of restaurants, night clubs, Irish pubs, right on the beach. Just underneath is the Barcelona Casino.
More about Gehry here.
MY BLOGS OF NOTE
Oh yeah, I’d like to start something new (to me anyway) today. I’d like to invite you to have a look at blogs I like, now and then. Not necessarily CDP blogs, just… nice blogs.
Entirely up to you all, of course.
Here is my first… coup de coeur. Toronto, city dear to my heart, has it’s very own Daily Toronto Photo now. Check it out!

I really love Frank Gehry. His work is amazing and always makes for a subject!

Oh, wow! I love the rustiness of the fish juxtaposed with the blue of the sky. What a pretty color combination! Beautiful view of this sculpture. So glad that you are there to record it for us!

That thing about “sharing” blogs you like, introducing them to people, I have also thought to do it recently.
Pleasure becomes more when you share it, you know that!
Thanks for Toronto (and the others to come!).
And, when you visit Martin Villoro at barcelonetta for lunch, make a post for it (one of the best memories of my trip to Barcelona!).

Thanks for the ment Rob! The fish statue looks like it's been beheaded and sitting on a plate, rather than swimming through the air.

Interesting sculpture! Come visit Bellingham anytime you're missing the rain… we generally have plenty to spare! Although, it has been a while, even for us.

Awesome sculpture, nice catch (capture).
I wonder if it makes a noise when the wind blows?

That's one big fish! Actually I like it. Maybe it could provide some shade for you on these warm days.

Well, it's a nice shot of a very interesting sculpture! Is there a reason a “fish” would be placed in this area?
