Tourist Season

Today I saw my first Gaudi works in real life and realised a dream.

PARK GUELL






Mosiacs on the roof of Sala Hipostil using glass bottles.






LA TEMPLE DE SAGRAD FAMILIA


Not my photo. Nicked it from sagradafamila.org

La temple de sagada famila, is church. They call it a 'work in progress' and say he never saw it finished because he got hit by a tram, but he was in his 70's when that happened. Started in 1882, the current completion date is set for 2020. His work is organic in form and spirit. He used no straight lines. This guy would never get planning authority from an Australian local council in a thousand years.







Other interesting architecture in Bcn.
