One of the strangest design features I've ever seen on a building. When I rapped my knuckles against it, it seemed totally hollow. I also think it could be climbed.
Wow!!! That's amazing. I don't know how you get such clear amazing shots of these things....this is so bizarre, it almost looks like a really cool sketch when enlarged. LOVE it!
This reminds me of the Cathedral in downtown LA. I have also thought that if I ever tried to rap against the outside walls of that it would sound hollow.
3 Little Pigs could build one a little more stable looking. But what a design! Things like that never cease to amaze me...we humans come up with quite the creations...and I sometimes wonder why. Great Photos of your buildings these last few posts...thanks for sharing! dawn
Dawn - I agree, I like the look, but wonder how practical or long lasting it will be.
Geof - We feel very lucky to see sunsets similar to that almost everyday. The marine layer coming in and the sun going down combine to make some good ones.. Thanks!
Ally - Thanks my friend!
Blue Wave - Thanks! B&W is usually my favorite...
Lazarus - they felt like it. It alspo seemed like it could be dented easily. thanks for commenting!
Biana - Thanks so much!
Mr. Stupid - Thanks! I think a vandal could ruin it very easily.
PTM - LOL...He needed another one a bit more tropical.
Margaret - I think he could climb it even on a bad day.
Entre Nous - Thanks! It's in a city named Costa Mesa, in Southern California
myvisualillusions - Thanks! Me too!
SoccerMom - Thanks so much! I'm gonna go check you out as well..
Does it even have any windows? On the other side maybe... cool shot!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it is curved too. Or is that an optical illusion? - G
ReplyDeleteThat just screams "Jackie Chan: climb me!"
ReplyDeleteHaha- could be climbed! I guess every man is really a little boy- still.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Pat.
Is this in LA? What's the building?
ReplyDeletePat, is this LA?
ReplyDeleteLOL It IS quite the strange design feature!! It looks like hollowed out silver bamboo stalks...tres bizarre!! =)
ReplyDeleteNot only that, but due to the neighboring building, it looks bent!
ReplyDeleteWhere and what is this?
What a bizarre building, and your photograph captures the unique architecture in all its quirky brilliance! :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be difficult to precut those panels. I wonder if they were cut as they were placed.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That's amazing. I don't know how you get such clear amazing shots of these things....this is so bizarre, it almost looks like a really cool sketch when enlarged. LOVE it!

ReplyDeleteSarah - No windows, I don't think there is any actual point to these things, except for looks.
ReplyDeleteGeorgina - They are curved. I bet people have tried to climb them
Soft nonsense - to me it screamed "stay off me!"
Ren - It did enter my mind and yes we are...

Sam - Thank you sir
Warren - I was wondering the same thing!
Marlene - They are bizarre, and I did nothing to the photo at all.
DrSoosie - They wasted a lot of space for an effect!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is odd. Is this a real building or a giant art piece?
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh. Ahhhhhhh......
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy my in-depth review of this picture?
Strange, Pat... What is it? Obviously, it is a building of some kind.... Where? Japan????? EXPLAIN please.
ReplyDeleteBetsy
It looks like a house of cards. Just my take on it. Nice shot though.
ReplyDeleteA really unique design in my opinion, nice shot Pat.
ReplyDeleteIt appears something was thrown on it at the bottom left of the picture, if so it really doesn't surprise me sad to say.
You could climb it Mr. Basic Training. I'm not so sure about me.
ReplyDeleteSQ - Most of it looks semi regular, some of it looks like art
ReplyDeleteBB - uhhh, yeahhhhhh. So deep...
Betsy - It's in Costa Mesa California. It's part of an office building of all things.
Chuck - Thanks Chuck!
Jimmy - It looked like someone yakked on it. there is a bar/restaurant next door. I was going to crop it out, but it didn't look the same...
Jesse - That's right! I'm going back there!

Really great photo... I've looked at a while, trying to figure out how it's contructed. It's very pretty
ReplyDeleteThat's a unique design. I thought it looked a little bit bent too.
ReplyDeleteNice picture, Pat.
That's is Superman's other secret hideout. You have blown his cover.
ReplyDeleteSpidey would love this one. I can just see Tobey McGuire sitting up there at night, brooding in his blacks...
