Hark!



Glorious summer angels in Barcelona, above on Gaudi's original facade of Sagrada Familia and below at the Columbus Monument.

Lovely photos, and probably the best way to admire the Sagrada Familia. I was in Barcelona for the first time 2 weeks ago and I have to admit that my first impression of Gaudi's famous work was of a massive and complex facade looming monstrously in front of me as I rode the escalator out of the Metro. The only word I could think of was "splat". I had sort of expected a plaza in front of it. Its beauty is quickly experienced through exploration.

I also visited the Casa Mila, which often amused me in photos but was warm and inviting in person. The surprises of architecture!
