Disney Concert Hall in LA (Frank Gehry building)
I was in LA for a business trip last week and one evening took the time to go downtown and take some photos of the Disney Concert Hall. I had never seen a Gehry building up close, so I wanted to be sure and do so while I was there. I'm not a big Gehry fan, I think some of his buildings are downright ugly, but this one is quite fascinating to look at, especially as the sun sets. I could have photographed for hours.

2. Great photos
Where is it located. Does this take the place of the Music Center as a home for concerts?

3. Gehry architecture is a photographer's delight...
...but I think there should be a law requiring his buildings to be set far enough away from the street that you can photograph the whole thing without lampposts or traffic signals getting in the way. (The Experience Music Project is even worse in that regard.)

You really caught the light and the pale tones of the building exceptionally well. I especially like the third and sixth images.
