This Gaudi building in Barcelona typifies much of his architecture on display throughout the city. The room itself feels light, airy and extremelly calming. Featured in Unique Buildings of the World – June 2009 and Mood & Ambience February 2009
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.
The extraordinary creation of visionary architect, Antonio Gaudi. The building represents a dragon, (see the scales), sleeping upon a pile of bones!

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.

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.

A laneway in the backstreets of Valencia, Spain. This was taken in June on a warm summer’s night. Everything was perfectly still and quiet down the lane. Huge contrast to the day time when you could barely walk down it with the amount of people about!

As is: Valencia City, Spain. The Dull December light was interesting. / This vibrant and busy city is a city of contrasts, old and new side by side, on top of and even beneath. Everywhere you go, from the tiny narrow cobbled streets and lanes, to the grand avenues, the two co-exist. / One of the most fascinating places I have ever visited / Fugifilm Finepix S1000fd
Palau de los Correos, Valencia, Spain. (Telecommunications and Post Office). I took this shot around the corner from where ‘Empty’ was taken, the lane way shot, below. This incredibly ornate and decorated building sits in the Place de l’Ajuntament, otherwise known as the Town Square. It shares a home with the Valencia Town Hall, a classic cinema and several bars and restaurants. It’s a busy, bustling area of the city, and is alive with a vibe that keeps you entertained for days.
