The bus that took me from Barcelona to Girona.
Inside the pillars look like trees and the ceiling looks like a forest ceiling.
This is a picture of a picture of the current building sight of La Sagrada Familia. One day it will have I think 16 spires?
Buttercup and the nativity facade of the Sagrada Familia
See what I mean about the Forum remains? The picture doesn't give a sense of the size. Maybe a 5 story building?
The last church Gaudi ever prayed in. The chips at the bottom of the stonework is the result of Spanish Civil War combat. A lot of the city was destroyed in this war.
Another Gaudi masterpiece. What I loved about Barcelona was that it wasn't like these buildings were roped off or given a huge amount of pomp, I just walked by and saw this one out of the corner of my eye. How could I not stop and capture its vivaceous beauty?
Things that make me wild with joy:
Cakes, biscuits and sweets;
Playfighting;
History museums, exhibitions, ephemera;
Family and friends (of course);
Making a mess while getting arty;
Dancing naked in my own home;
Having a hot bath;
The Hokey Pokey;
Smooth coffee in urban cafes;
Singing with friends;
Learning new information about practically anything!;
Making connections;
Swimming in the ocean;
Playing board games;
Fat rain;
Blue skies; Running my hand over supple, soft skin;
Crisp beer and good CabMerlot
