The 'Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències' or City of arts and Sciences is a cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It was designed by the famous architect Santiago Calatrava. I stayed in Valencia for 6 days. every night I tried to photograph this worldfamous building. But every night there was to much wind, disturbing the reflection. The last night I was lucky. It was dead calm, no wind at all. Moreover I was rewarded with a full moon coming up from behind the building.

I am a passionate traveller, explorer and wildlife photographer from Belgium.
