Spain Banco de Valencia during blue hour
A one and single shot of this magnificent building, just at the moment when rain started to pour.
This flatiron building with a curved front was designed during the Spanish Civil War (in 1935) but was built several years later. Although the architecture is eclectic, the building has the traditional skyscraper form--with a base (in two colors of marble), a shaft of brick with limestone trim, and a top, in this case an unusual cladding of colorful tiles--owing to the art nouveau or modernista influence from earlier in the 20th century

Photography Tips
A wide angel lens (I used the 14-24mm), tripod is a must.
