Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Work in progress.

this is wonderful

Happy new week:)

Thank you, Annemarie!

They will get there. Slow but steady. It's going to be impressive.

I should hope so, Jean. The old stadium was one of the most impressive on the planet!

Les travaux avancent doucement, mais surement..!
Bonne fin de soirée .

Thank you, Malik!

What a mess on the street, but super well balanced pic ***************

Thank you, Isabel. Fortunately, the 'mess' is all inside the grounds of the stadium so there has been no disruption on the streets.

Can't say I like it, but there again I don't like anything with a modern look.

The style of the football ground, and what you still see here, is very much early 20th century with more recent touches from the 70s and 80s. The new look will be an altogether different affair, all shiny metal.
I don't like what I've seen of the plans at all!

Lo recuerdo, varias fotos porque antes pasabas por allí. También a mí me parece que el avance va en consonancia con la vacunación. Para jugar sin público, como ahora es obligado no importa el retraso. Veremos en setiembre como están las cosas, la obra y la epidemia. Andy, esas dos moles cilíndricas supongo que son bajadas con rampas en espiral para salida del público. Pero, las tres más pequeñas y solo a media altura, ¿Qué serán?

The central 'cylinder' of which there are four, one on each corner, have been spectator walkways for decades. I don't know if they will be retained. The one under the blue wrapping is part of the construction to put up a new roof. The smaller ones? They have also been there since the beginning and I don't know what they are for; perhaps for display only? I'm sure Mr Florentino Perez won't be happy with you for comparing his wonderful scheme with the roll out of the vaccine nationally!!!!

impressionnante architecture...

Thank you, Simone!

interesing architecture!

Well, none of the intended results are yet on display!! All that can be seen is the old stadium still, and some new roof struts being slowly put in place! I've been following progress for nearly 2 years now, and there doesn't seem to be any!
Thank you, Berny!
An added thought is that this is my preferred shot of the reconstruction and yet I don't know why!

very wel shown

Thank you, Trudy!

Will be a great stadium for this great club !

We'll see, Ulrich. I really hate the designs that I've seen, All metal like the stadium is wrapped in aluminium foil!

Interessante moderne Architektur. Du hast das Gebäude und die Tätigkeit an den Bauten prima festgejhalten!

This shot shows what will be destroyed soon or hidden form public gaze. The plans I've seen show a metal pudding bowl upside down. Ghastly!

Very interesting!
Strong and superb image!

Thank you, Judite! Thus Is just one of many shots of the stadium this past year. I have an album of them.

You'll have to keep an eye on it Andy. I'm sure it will look good once finished.

Well, there won't be too many more shots as I don't have many occasions to walk past there these days!

joli graphisme,

Thank you, Annick!

I especially like the perspective and how the yellow and the blue create tension with th grey. A very harmonious composition.

Thank you, John; that's exactly what I saw. I also liked the indication of the curve of this corner of the stadium, giving a hint of its size.

Good work.
Have a nice evening

Many thanks, June!

Will be an unique architecture, when finished.

Thank you, Stefani!

Imposant Andy,,Nu moeten ze wel gaan winnen..........;-))

Thank you Fred!

Are they not working on it as much as they were? Is it the virus stopping them

They started in the virus so I don't think it's that Jenny. Maybe they ARE working flat out! Perceptions can be deceptive! Hope you are better now!

A lot going on there Andy, nice shooting.
All the best
Bill
