[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Torre Agbar of the French architect Jean Nouvel has taken a prominent place in the skyline of Barcelona. Nobody wants to believe anymore that the iconography that the architect meant for the office tower was that of a fontein, a geiser, a shower. An appropriate iconography for the company the building is for; the water company of Barcelona.

But today everybody refers to the Torre Agbar as the ‘fallus’ or ‘penis-building’ and can be googled under that name. However especially at night it looks much more like a plastic and colorful dildo.

Curiously enough Jean Nouvel is currently building a second tower in Doha, Qatar, that has a similar shape and smooth texture, and so again a similar unmeant iconography.

Hello Emin !

Checking in my pants ...... Mmmmmm , ''It'' does not look like this at all (^_^). Looks to me more like a projectile shell .

About the photo, the composition is good. I do not know if it is because of the smog , humidity , or available light , but it seems to miss a bit of punch.

Try to upload photos using the maximum permissible size of 800 pixels. If files are too big , just decompressed them a bit to fit the maximum 300kb capacity . You will benefit of a better visibilty, and get ultimately better feedback too.

Cheers!
Robert
Thanks for the smile ( ^_^ )

Ha ha ha - great sense of humor and yet you are right - it does look like a penis but not 100% - I agree with Nove and Perryhoter - more like a bullet... LOL!!!
