I recognise the place. It is a great picture.You will consider fun that on this building it was, maybe 25 or 30 years ago several offices etc.., I remember that it was a Medical Analytic office ("blood analyses") and I was going there, it was a building for normal use, now it deserves to be a museum.Amitiés Lluis El 18/09/2009, a las 21:12, <philippe.amard@xxxxxx> escribió:Added to the 'Openings' gallery :http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Openings/SciFi+Gaudi+-+BW-1120032.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Openings/SciFi+Gaudi+-+BW-1120032.jpg.html> <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/Openings/SciFi+Gaudi+-+BW-1120032.jpg.html>Thanks Philippe _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
