Re: Architecturally fascinating buildings

@LucioV,

This is downtown Santa Barbara in California....a very beautiful Spanish architecture influenced city.My wife and I had a vacation at nearby Montecito for my birthday a few years ago.Many famous people like Paul Hogan from the movie Crocodile Dundee,Kevin Costner,Oprah Winfrey and others maintain houses...mansions might be a better word ...nearby where we stayed.The scenery is beautiful everywhere and the ocean views are outstanding.When we visited downtown Santa Barbara we rented bicycles as we usually do everywhere we travel so we could ride around at our leisure...and stop to take photos of course.We also went on a scenic guided Segway tour along the ocean front road.Santa Barbara was a Spanish settlement in the late 1700's.We really enjoyed our visit!

 

 

Cheers,

Zed star.

Wow! it's amazing to discover this type of buildings, here in Madrid, Spain we have an "egg" building and a "o" building. It's not so impresive than the Prage building, of course! Here I share two photos of them (this images it's from google images, not mine)

Thanks to you for share with us this amazing "dancing house" i really enjoyed it!

Hi @DulcedelMo, welcome in Connect. Three times welcome, First of all for the beautiful photos, second because you States the photos are not yours (so I don't need to explain this rule to you) and this because you showed us some very beautiful buildings.

Thanks

Re: Architecturally fascinating buildings

@Zeds @ErmesT i will not be so active in the next days, due to the meetup in Milan and, mostly, because my son has been hospitalized this afternoon for further diagnostics after he felt bad this morning. I think nothing to worry, but i will have to stay with him.

Don't worry if you don't see me too much active!
