  6. Oh. Cindy, my favourite above all cathedrals in the world. thank you for the update! Every time I see photos from it, something new has happened – new details, new colours. Tha facade as well – a work still in progress. He is a man I would love to have dinner with, had he been here still…

  15. Oh, my! Awe-inspiring, Cindy. And I’m sure, as with everything photographed, the reality outstrips the capacity of a photo to show the vision. Thanks for sharing these!

    1. So much so, yes! Just the cavernous size of the place alone, and every bit of it like a separate fantastic cathedral, impossible to capture in photos.

  17. La Sagrada Familia es una auténtica maravilla arquitectónica, y es que Gaudí era un genio. Las fotos que has hecho en tu visita a España son preciosas. <3 <3 <3

    1. I don’t like lines either. Don’t feel bad, I often pass by visiting something if the lines and crowds are extreme. It can ruin the whole gestalt. If you go again, you can buy tickets online prior to leaving on your trip and this enables you to choose a time period and go to the head of the line. If you choose early morning there might be fewer people. You can do this at most major art museums and cathedrals all over the world.

  26. Gaudi, the artist, architect and designer reminds me of Michaelangelo with his connections from above, Cindy. <3 I so thoroughly enjoyed seeing these magnificent structures! Awesome and full of "wow!" 😀

    1. Yes. It is Amazing that he wasn’t initially overlooked because his creativity was unique and unusual. I give Spain a lot of credit for recognizing and championing him. I can’t imagine him ever being commissioned to build a cathedral in the US.

    1. Oh what a beautiful and perfect description and the exact experiences I had here, ” I went to see a tourist attraction– but left feeling it was really a place a worship.”

  36. Bonjour CINDY très joli ces vitraux

    Entre nous , nous avons scellé un pacte celui de l’amitié

    Cette amitié une fleur qui s’épanouies au fis des jours des mois des années

    Ces pétales ont eu du mal de s’ouvrir au départ mais ensemble

    On en a pris soin et ses pétales ce sont grandes ouvertes

    Comme la naissance d’un enfant

    Alors empêchons cette fleur de se faner

  39. Thanks so much, Cindy, for sharing the scared visions of Gaudi. Your selection of photos really celebrate his mastery. I would like to see Gaudi’s work someday, but in the meantime, I thank you for this visit.

      1. Thank you Cindy, I’m singing for Scottish Opera this month then I’m off to Berlin for a month learning and performing as Frasquita in Carmen in a Fosse inspired performance. I’m brushing up my French and German at the same time. I’m very excited and trying to cram everything into my brain.
