Winter came...

Winter came


Arriquibar or Arrikibar Square in Winter


Biscay Square (Plaza Bizkaia)


Indautxu Plaza


From Indautxu Plaza (at the bottom, the Gran via and  the Park, inside the mist)


Indautxu Square, towards Ercilla Street















Indautxu from Arrikibar Plaza


The pouring rain



Don Alonso de Ercilla looks at the city with his metal eyes




Racionalist buildings, as they are called, and round corners are tipical  of  Bilbao



And this is a sort of urban basque stile created long ago mixing classical and traditional elements



The busy streets, wet umbrellas, canopies and awnings



Ercilla Street connects Indautxu to the Gran Via



Behind that Nineteenth Century looking building is Hotel Ercilla 



Dr. Areilza Street. Tiny snow flakes are falling.



Dr. Areilza Street with the Pelli tower sunk in the mist, a shadow at the bottom 



Round squares of buildings in Dr. Areilza Street


Surroundigs of Dr. Areilza. Let's Play.




Stone and concrete grow pale in the mist and the bleak light


Things that keep you going. The inner fire



The Alhondiga Culture Centre from Biscay Square



The Loft (Arrikibar Square, by the Alhondiga)


The inner fire again



Reflections




Works




Snow against the bricks



They look at one another (all those windows...)



Winter tower



Winter roofs



Winter Street


The window
