Planet Armadillo - [Explore 02-04-2016]

            L'Hemisfèric . Photoshop finds work for idle hands - so true. In the absence of getting out to take photos I've had a play with an older photo from when we had a pleasant break in Valencia, Spain. A quirky mix of old and (as you can see) new. This building was part of the new(isn) district of arts and science.

L'Hemisfèric —  is meant to resemble a giant eye. The Hemesferic also known as the planetarium or the “eye of knowledge,” is the centerpiece of the City of Arts and Sciences. Its design resembles an eyelid that opens to access the surrounding water pool. The bottom of the pool is glass, creating the illusion of the eye as a whole.  Personally, I think it looks like a big armadillo - which ain't a bad thing.

Thanks for all views, comments and favs. They are always much appreciated.
