this is a very interesting building.Yah,what use is it for?where did you manage to get such a good view?

@tyan: Hello tyan, it's an art museum. It was erected to make an impact on the city + get more people to visit Graz, when Graz was the "European Capital of Culture" in 2003. I managed to get the view because Graz is in the mountains + has a nice hill in the middle of the city covered in the remnants of a palace.

It's an art museum in Graz, Austria, everybody. It's in Wikipedia. Great photo Markus. It would be interesting to have a little bit of background on your travel shots.

whoaaaa, that is a fine example of modern innovative architecture!! I think you’ve composed this really beautifully, Markus. I love the panorama of the city that this is set against.

Rabbit from Richmond, United States

That is weird looking... Like a big spiky WHALE is in the middle of the city. A fine capture to show us all such odd buildings.
