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!

This was taken inside Gaudi’s masterpiece the Sagreda Famillia in Barcelona. The exterior is known to most people but the interior is also quite extraordinary, with the supporting columns creating complex shapes. Before visiting I tended to to think of Gaudi’s architecture as overly decorative, but I have admit I was impressed by his use of new geometrical forms which looks as modern today as when he designed them. I often use these photo’s to help stimulate the memory for artworks based on place

Taken on the rooftop of my favorite Gaudi building in Barcelona, Spain. These knights remind me of Boba Fett in Star Wars. Perhaps this explains why I am so utterly fascinated by them!
Victorians are a rather interesting lot. The thing to remember is that they are a lot like “classical music”. There was only one period of time called the Classical Period yet all manor of the same general genre of music is called “classical”. Likewise, there was only one Victorian Period and only structures built during that time are Victorian. Then it gets sticky. Is a Victorian house that is rebuilt after a fire in the 21st century still a Victorian or a Victorian copy? What about a original replica of the Victorian style? What about a house that’s built like a log cabin during the Victorian Period? Heck, I’m not sure what’s what but I am sure what the term is used for in Sacramento: almost any building with gingerbread woodwork, the graceful and completely superfluous curlicues that are usually of bold primary colour adorning wooden structures with sash windows. Never mind if the windows are missing because of modern upgrades (or, more likely, the strings broke inside the walls). Never mind if there are obvious Italian features or concrete stairs leading to the front door. And completely ignore when it was build, rebuilt, designed, redesigned, or enlarged. Unless you know the history of the entire building, odds are you need to be a serious connoisseur of architecture to even begin to figure it out. That soundly excludes me. However, downtown Sacramento California is literally filled with homes and offices that qualify as Victorian by architectural hacks like me. They play a vital part in my savouring the varied flavours of my neighbourhood. (Oooo! That was verbal gingerbread so I has to qualify as Victorian oration, right? Yeah, right.) All this drivel to say a series of Victorian/possibly Victorian photography kicks off mildly with this shot from down my street. I think some of it will delight, some intrigue, and some downright horrify non-colourblind folks. The rest of us will probably lick the monitors and say something silly like, “Not too savoury to me, bro.”

My cat found this creature on the paito, a hot dog-sized caterpillar of the Regal Moth. He is absolutely harmless but his horns and his colors are pretty impressive. I think he had fallen out of his Hickory tree and was looking for leaf litter to pupate in. Taken in Inverness, Florida

Gaudi’s Apartments – Was so lucky to get this awesome sky, it turned black. We left the apartments to catch the bus and we were standing at the bus stop when we heard this rain thundering down. We thought we were going to be saturated but it was random and only rained about 10 metres away, strange!
Well… everything approaching to the end. Now it’s the end of this legend named… Barcelona. This legend is written by me, I red it myself and translated to you, my friends. Any other person will write about Barcelona by different way but it’s my Barcelona, my understanding of her and my look at her. / Like the first love of the man it stays with him for ever and my Barcelona, my love, will stay with me as I remember her… I’m leaving Barcelona and it’s my last look at her and my last look at Gaudi… look from inside… Gaudi. It’s my last shot made from inside Casa Batlló, through the window of Casa Batlló, at the roof of Casa Batlló… Bye-bye Barcelona, hope to see you soon again… I’m going away… south… through all Spain.
