Clever architecture. I enjoyed your pictures and getting a glimpse of your country.
ReplyDeleteHola,
ReplyDeletehace tres años estuve en Santiago haciendo un taller de animación y este edificio me sorprendió...un edificio con forma de celular para una empresa de telefonos? me encantó
...y no pude tomarle foto!
GRACIAS! Ahora podré mostrarlo a mi familia
Chao, un saludo
Oh my! Yes that is very clever. But if you hadn't pointed out the similarity, I honestly wouldn't have noticed! I need to go wake up! Looks like you get a lot of cloudy days over there.
ReplyDeleteReally cristina? I saw that right away but was wondering if it was on purpose or by accidnet that it looked that way. I like it personally.
ReplyDeleteI actually think it's a good idea, and like Eric noticed its' shape immediately.
ReplyDeleteRing, ring! Excuse me, my building's ringing!
