... Lovely view of a famous artwork “Seven Poets", created by the Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa... the sculptures are perched atop 10-meter translucent pillars in Plaça de la Lídia in front of the government building in Andorra la Vella, Andorra's capital... the work consists of 7 large-format fiberglass men represent both poets and the seven administrative divisions of the country... they symbolize a silent, global dialogue between poets and are meant to promote calm and reflection amid the busy city... they are especially impressive at night when they are lit with many colors... a very unusual composition, opened in 2014...Thanks a lot Josep&Assumpta! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
