Gaudi-Sagrada Familia.

During my trip to Barcelona, I went for the first time into the Sagrada Familia, the famous architectural church and work of  Antoni Gaudi. It was overwhelming and it felt like I was stepping onto a film set from something out of the Lord of the Rings! It is beautiful and the lines that are created, with different tones of grey and shapes give you the impression they are moving, elegantly, whichever way you look. I once again was a little snap happy and sat for a good few hours in a forrest of concrete, looking at a structure that began as far back as 1882 and will not be completed for some time yet!

I will let the pictures speak for themselves……

Barcelona.

I spent last week in Barcelona, a city soon to be my new home. Beautiful, full of people, noise and gorgeous architecture (a post on Gaudi’s finest ‘Sagarada Familia’ will follow soon!) and here is what I saw………

The blue sky, along with Barcelona’s contrasting lines and buildings of new and old made me a little snap happy…..
