Almost Finished

New building, Scoglio della Regina, Livorno
The new building and the rest of the complex at the “Scoglio della Regina” (Queen's Rock) are almost finished: the piazza has already a few benches, but the mysterious statue is still completely wrapped.

The pattern of the paving is eye-catching and almost hypnotic. On a side there is also a small jetty.

Sadly, the nearby Big Blue Shed is getting bluer and more conspicuous by the day...

I can hear bicyclists warning each other now not to look down. :-)

I like the pattern on the flooring/walkway.

The building and the paving are quite dramatic and they fit together nicely. I am still holding off forming an opinion about the blue structure.

I like that pattern too.

I love your perspective in the first shot. And that sky - so blue!!! It will be interesting to see what lies under the wraps.

Il cielo azzurro! :-)

Great piazza. The building reminds me of Rome's EUR.

Interesting wavy paving - it seems so appropriate beside the ocean. ;)

I do like the pattern of the paving stones.

Wow, that top photo is very impressive. All that space, the pattern in the plaza and the stark look of the building and then that wrapped statue. It all makes a stunning photo.

That pattern is beautiful though dizzying.
