La Sagrada Família (Catalan, ‘The Holy Family’) is a large Roman Catholic basilica under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Construction began in 1882 and its formal title is Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. Antoni Gaudí worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to this endeavour. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have joked, “My client is not in a hurry.” After Gaudí’s death in 1926, work continued under the direction of Domènech Sugranyes until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1935. Parts of the unfinished building and Gaudí’s models and workshop were destroyed during the war by Catalan anarchists. The design, as now being constructed, is based both on reconstructed versions of the lost plans and on modern adaptations.

This Gaudi building in Barcelona typifies much of his architecture on display throughout the city. The room itself feels light, airy and extremelly calming.

This is a Photoshop adjusted version of my previously posted Ciutadella Town Hall II. The adjustments were made by the super talented Julie Langford, for which I am most grateful. She has removed all the clutter and added a fabulous sky. Please let us know what you think! Related shots can be viewed at Menorca or Balearic Islands or Spain. Best viewed Larger. The original looks like this:

Plaza de toros de Ronda a.k.a. the Bullring of Ronda. Ronda is one of the most beautiful little towns I’ve ever seen. In the south of Spain, it is built on a gorge, the old town on one side, the new town on the other. The Puente Nuevo bridge spans the gorge and stands 120m above the canyon floor. (A very impressive sight, I can tell you!) The bullring was built in 1785 and is one of the oldest operational bullfighting venues in Spain. In fact, I believe it may be one of the last bullrings still hosting fights (although very rarely). This image was featured in European Everyday Life September 25, 2008.

Some of the beautiful buildings on La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain. I never did find out what the ladder was for. La Rambla is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona, Spain. Popular with both tourists and locals alike, La Rambla is an iconic and busy street. It is a 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gòtic, it connects Plaça Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. Usually full of street theatre, cafés and market stalls, it serves as the emotional hub of Barcelona. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Barcelona or you can view all my Spanish shots.

Painted from the terrace of a rented apartment in the tiny village of El Golco. In Andalucia, Southern Spain. / The Moorish architecture, with characteristic domes and ‘godfather’ chimneys. This was my first attempt at ‘en plein air’ painting. / The second of two paintings, I did in El golco. (As I further appraised this, after uploading today, it seems more abstract. Although I didn’t intend that, at the time!) June 2007. / Watercolour, 11” x 8” on rough paper.

Just loved the contrast between the grey cloudcovered sky and the blue cloud-splattered reflection of the sky on the opposite sides of the building. Looks like a sheer wall.

This poor building must have been beautiful in it’s day, and owned by someone quite rich as most dilapidated Spanish buildings are quite basic. Unfortunately the back end of this building has collasped. It will never be restored, as the Spanish don’t seem to do that! Behind the building you can just glimpse the pink lake, yes it is pink, one of the salt lakes at Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, Spain.

Taken in Madrid as I was walking up Calle de la Sal, a little side street that exits out of Plaza Mayor. Featured in Selective Colouring in October 2008 The inspiration for the selective colouring came from this photo by fellow Red Bubbler chelseal. This is the photo in question (if you click on it, it will take you to Chelsea’s site). She has got some amazing artwork (and she is only 16!!!!).
