the mediterranean sea. this is 9:30pm barcelona time btw.
all across europe are magnificent churches with incredible details built long ago. truth is, after a while they all start to look the same.....until you come across la familia segrada. Next few pics are of this church. Minor Basillica status, and its not even complete.

More Gaudi. Casa Batllo. Looking at Gaudi's life work is a bit mind blowing. Its nothing would ever think a building should look like, yet makes perfect sense at the same time. Trying to process what i see makes my head hurt. The pics do not do it justice.

Ha, my sister was just touring that church a few weeks ago. -AlbertL
