Wonderful lines in this image, the "sails" remind me of our opera house, great tones and finishing Suvni:R!!

@Kylie Greenan: and you are absolutely right because the building is indeed supposed to represent a boat..and those are indeed 'sails' you're seeing there. The building is next to the 'schelde' canal. That probably aided in their architectural decision :-) But of course, we can't top the opera house :-) Thanks, Kyles.

Une toiture en pique bien impressionnante.

@Zygene: tout à fait. Une hauteur de 41m apparemment. Merci Zygene!

Quelle architecture originale... je rejoins Kylie... comme un grand voilier...

@zOOm: Le bâtiment se trouve proche du fleuve de l'Escaut. ça explique les voiles gonflées par le vent...
je suis d'accord avec toi que c'est une architecture bien réussite
merci, Florence!

Very well taken.... the other I passed there and i said to myself: 'you should try and photograph the building!! 'Glad to see it here!! A good job.

@NADINE DERUYCK: Thanks, Nadine. I was telling myself the same thing and finally took my camera and went for it although I must say I found it difficult to find an angle I liked. Also, the position of the sun was not ideal in this picture. So I'm definitively looking forward to your version (if/when you make one of course :-). I think I will have another try myself in the near future because I'm not entirely pleased with this one.
