On the way into Oporto, I was struck by how the light and shade caught the lines of the the very geometric shapes of the Casa da Musica (the city’s Classical Music venue). Designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, it is very controversial, a late 20th century concrete structure of irregular proportions. Here are a couple of monochrome images:

That’s an impressive structure indeed, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
12 stories high, Pete, and a most curious shape!
Monotone works well for these.

Thanks, Janet – there are times when I just know something will work better in monochrome….
Great captures of stunning architecture, Sue.
It was interesting, Dina
Love how you captured the structure. Great shots!
Many thanks,Amy!
Ah it’s very similar to the Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam. Must be the same architect.
Apparently the Eye Film museum was designed by an Austrian architectural firm…..
