The Opera House at Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands by Santiago Calatrava.

The auditorium is located on the waterfront in the Los Llanos area of Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife. Situated between the Marine Park and the edge of the port, the auditorium connects the city to the ocean and creates a significant urban landmark.
The all-concrete building is characterized by the dramatic sweep of its roof. Rising off the base like a crashing wave, the roof soars to a height of 58 meters over the main auditorium before curving downward and narrowing to a point. The building's plinth forms a public plaza covering the site and allows for changes in grade between the different levels of the adjacent roads

Santiago Calatrava is a world-renowned architect, engineer and sculptor. Already well-known in Europe for his unique design aesthetic, Calatrava is beginning to make a name for himself in the United States. Starting with the Milwaukee Art Museum, he has designed a number of public buildings and bridges in the U.S. in recent years. As both Engineer and Architect, his works take materials like concrete, glass and steel beyond the normal bounds.

Hi Tsilla,

Love what you did with the presentation, as if I am looking at a stack of holiday pictures - very elegant, not over the top.

This building sure is photogenic and the blue sky makes a wonderful BG.
Good job here.

hi Tsilla

Impressive architecture of this opera house and really good subject under a bright blue sky. You have shown the curved roof structure very nicely here from this POV, avoiding shadows to the underside. The design is fantastic.

A rival for Sydney! Wonderful blue & white color tones here, with good sharpness & well managed exposure on the highlights. Good framing too. Tfs!
