Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim, a 350,000 square foot colossus, is the focal point of a $1.5 billion redevelopment plan for Bilbao. Its revolutionary architecture remains controversial. Locals call it the "Californian Cauliflower", while the New York Times hailed it as the first great building of the 21st century. No matter what your view of it, the sheer scale of its central piece of massive titanium sheathing is hard to ignore. I shot this picture on an overcast day, from a position just across the Nervion River from the museum. Focusing my spot meter on the titanium panel, which is angled so that it is reflecting light into the camera, I was able to darken the panels and glass behind it. I waited these people to walk below the titanium panel -- they appear so small in comparison. This scale incongruity tells us just how enormous that panel really is.
