Winged sculpture, a photo from Cordoba, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

A detail from one of the buildings standing on Plaza de las Tendillas, which featured in my previous posting.

Plaza de las Tendillas in Cordoba is considered as the city's main square. Set in the centre of modern Cordoba, it has existed in its present form since the 1920s as evidenced by some of its architecture.

Remodelled subsequently on various occasions, it has now become one of the favourite meeting places for Cordoban people and visitors with its many cafés and restaurants.

It’s named after the small boutiques ("tiendas") which once surrounded the square and flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries. Modern buildings since have replaced these.

Good morning,
Attractive detail of architecture decorations. The clear blue sky works perfectly as a background. Well seen.

Salut Stephen,
Bien ralisé ce gros plan sur ces éléments d'architecture, l'ensemble est bien servi par la bonne netteté et par ce fond bleu unifiorme, c'est idéal pour mettre en valeur la toiture de cette tour.

Bonjour, cher Stephen,
Superbe mise en image de cette partie architecturale qui dépasse l'entendement de nos jours.
Heureusement que de tels vestiges existent encore, nous pouvons ainsi apprécier le travail des artisans, décorateurs, architectes et tous ceux qui ont participé à ces oeuvres.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Stephen,

I noticed this statue, yesterday.
The excellent, decorative details on the building make a suitable plinth for this large, winged figure.
I'm glad there were no clouds for the rich, blue sky makes the perfect backdrop for these features.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
Bucketing down, here, again! Poor people who are on holiday!

Hello Stephen,

The intense clear blue sky makes a marvellous backdrop to this winged statue atop the dome. Good sharpness and well framed and composed. Tfs!

Hi Stephen,

The subject is well framed. The point of view is showing the details of the tower of the building and of the sculpture. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Stephen,

J'aime beaucoup ce plan serré sur cette partie haute du bâtiment.Tous les détails sont d'une remarquable netteté. La contre plongée utilise bien ce ciel bleu comme arrière plan.

Amicalement

What a beautiful close-up of this elegant building in Cordoba !
I have found it's the building of "Union and Phoenix" by Benjamin Gutierrez-Prieto. So I suppose the statue represents the "Union" riding the "Poenix".
Excellent management of colours and exposure against the pure, blue sky.
I also like the details of the mosaics.
Congratulations.
Marie-Louise.
