the building looks so much like something from Metropolis, the old sepia film about factories. Is this a theater or museum?

Behind The Lens
Location
Bilbao , Spain, the Guggenheim MuseumTime
A November morning, aproximately 6.00 am.Lighting
The dawn was commencing , and the sunrise would come up from behind the Museum, I wanted a long exposure to accentuate the lights and reflections from the river. I had stayed in a hotel nearby a week before, so I already had an idea of the image I wanted and where to take it from.The opposite bank of the river, at dawn.Equipment
Nikon Z7 with S 24-70 f4 lens. The concrete floor of the river bank, in order to make a long exposure, as I had no tripod.Inspiration
It's such an amazing piece of architecture, so inspiring, and at night with the lights, and reflections it's amazing.Editing
I never do much processing, and I photograph using only RAW, then essentially, levels and curves ,check the white balance , and remove any casts . I aim to create the image I see in camera, and to minimise editing. I did convert an image to black and white , which I like a also.In my camera bag
Nikon Z7 NikonS 24-70 F4, Nikon 24-120 F4, Nikon D7200, Gitzo and Manfroto tripod.LEE filters.Feedback
I made this shot from the ground , from the opposite side of the river, as I had no tripod.It's firm, so no problem. But a tripod will give you a greater variety of compositions. It's a great location at dawn and sunset. In the mornings there can also be some interesting mist which can be used for some create silhouette and atmospheric images. Its also great in black and white.
