Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

Off to work - a new multicolored building as you will see

As I walk toward the entrance

Inside are all my colleagues - Here Bea and Karen

and Catalina

And the guys - Bernabe and Pepe

and Bea(2) and Pepe

The boss, Javier and me

Lucia - who solves all my problems

Our work area

Bea(1)'s office - sort of through the looking glass

Karen in her office

And Chema - always on the move, this time to Hungary

I found a path to the roof - and here are images of each of the multicolored segments of this building - Two women

Two of the building segments

The structure of each block is quite interesting. There are ordinary glass panels, but there is an additional panel of glass that is colored and has a pattern which you can see here

A red block

A tan block with a printed circuit board pattern - with the processor made in Taiwan

A green block (green house?)

Between two buildings

Another building - nondescript color

Walking across a glass bridge

Then an amazing lunch with Javier and Chema - sort of a lobster rice. For me, Valencia knows how to make rice. In Singapore, the Chinese make rice, of course, ordinary rice, chicken rice and the Indian's make beriani rice, but nothing compares with Valencian rice - so many different preparations.

Here she is preparing for each of us

Chema and Javier - at the start

My rice and me

Then a small diversion - the day was windy but mostly clear, so off to the City of Science to make photos of Calatrava's work. There is the opera house

Another presentation
