...it was nice visit to private Ralli Museum with private collection. The collection is rich. It includes paintings of famous modern and old artists. Permanent and changing exhibitions. One of the galleries is devoted to Salvador Dali. The history of Ceasarea is also depicted in the museum. What is also very interesting – the building itself.
The building is very attractive. Harry Recanati founded the museum and everything in it is from his private collection. The architects are the Uruyguyans Quintero and Casciani. The Israeli architect and town planner, Shaul Scohkolnik, adapted the plans to local conditions.
There are three floors exhibiting 20th century art, mostly by Latin American artists and lots of statues - some of them by Salvador Dali. I liked the statues very much. They are placed on each floor and outside the entrance of the museum. There is also a small archaeological wing showing various finds from the area.
It is worth visiting.

Now... how on earth did you manage to keep yourself out of the reflection???
This is really weird, you must explain that to me!

I really like the clarity and the colors on this shot Alex.
It's also nice to see some of the statues of yesterday's post back in the reflection of the ball.
Fun shot!!

Cheers,
Anneke

dear Alex,
this warped reflection of the museum building on the golden sphere is impressive, the center of it I can find blurred figure of you.
the arches are beautiful and make artistic atmosphere for arts.
using circles is very nice, because the essential shape of everything is circle or sphere indeed,
so I always think that circle photos are more charming than squares...
thank you,
Akihisa

A great image quality and clarity in this well composed shot (although I prefer a plain background for your main subject)
Nice warm colors, excellent reflection on the ball which gives a 180 degree view.
Thanks

Hello,

quel reflet dans cette boule, merveilleuse iamge le couleurs sont superbe, le captage parfait, grandiose.

bravo et amitié

Hi Alex,
This seem to be a controversial capture;to the rules, you don`t put the subject dead-center; yet, here for some reason it works. Maybe it is because the subject is so simple and clear..
The background works really well, with the complementary colors,blue and that kind of orange.
The note is excellent,so I think this is a great posting,overall.
Thanks for sharing,
Nelu
