I'm posting this photo today that I took last year as I can see from the news that this month is the opening of this great world art contribution! The building is the 76-story 8 Spruce Street - Beekman Tower by Frank Gehry. The light reflections of this buildling are nothing short than stunning!
In daylight the furrowed surfaces of the facades look as if they’ve been etched by rivulets of water. And as the tallest luxury residential tower in the city’s history, it seemed to epitomize the skyline’s transformation from a symbol of American commerce to a display of individual wealth. The building’s endlessly shifting surfaces are an attack against the kind of corporate standardization so evident in the buildings to the south and the conformity that it embodied. He aims, as he has throughout his career, to replace the anonymity of the assembly line with an architecture that can convey the infinite variety of urban life.

Frank Gehry concluye en Manhattan un rascacielos que parece de nueva generación. Con el acabado aparentemente imperfecto, sinuoso o torturado, que permiten los alardes de la ingeniería y el diseño digital, la torre de viviendas de 76 plantas y 267 metros de altura (frente a los 381m del Empire State o los 417 de las desaparecidas Torres Gemelas) ya ha sido calificada como “democrática de verdad” por Nicolai Ouroussoff, el crítico de arquitectura de The New York Times. ¿Por qué?

I took this photo just a few seconds after Ghana made its goal (1 - 0 lead to Uruguay)
look closely at her
during that moment
she was crying
it looks like the flag is a shadow cast on her face
the tears look unreal
and they cannot be more real
or the pain looks real and tears do not
but the tears are not on the sun
I interpret it as the sun side is the side of hope
after the game I'm sure she was the happiest person in the stadium
her dad scored the final goal
it can't get better than that!
Tomé esta foto tan sólo unos segundos después de que Ghana hizo su gol (1 - 0 a Uruguay)
mírenla de cerca
en ese momento estaba llorando
parece que la bandera es una sombra en su cara
las lágrimas lucen irreales
y no puede ser más real!
o el dolor parece real y las lágrimas no
pero las lágrimas no están en el sol
es que el lado del sol es el lado de la esperanza!
después del partido estoy seguro de que ella era la persona más feliz del estadio
su padre marcó el gol (penal) final
no podría haberse dado un final mejor!
