Been to barcelona and the Cathedral is as beautiful as it looks. A big thank you for our memories.

I did a paper on Gaudi for my art history course. He was a religious symbolist--imbedded in the undulating walls of his park Guell is the Angelis. It was designed so that the sun would light the pryer at the correct time of day.
This cathedral of his had windowsusing leading made from the discarded pieces of knitting machines and he used columns built at an angle rather than straight so they would follow the force lines of the load they carry. He hung string from the ceiling with proportionally weighted sand bags to figure out the angle. This maakes his cathedral the inversion of earth's gravity. And the use of discarded material refer to the stone rejected by the builders becoming the cornerstone. I wish I could get to Barcelona to see this some day.
Wishing you all a day of high aspirations.

So Gaudi! Many European cathedrals take centuries to finish, and some, like the cathedral in Cologne, suffered from several bombings during WWII. When I was in Hamburg about 25 years ago, there was the top of a cathedral spire fenced off, just sitting on the ground.

I visited this church three years ago. It is truly magnificent! Barcelona is also a wonderful city!

And I thought I moved slowly! That church was started in 1882 and has not yet been completed? Wow! I assume it is just constantly having parts added to it.

I adore thiese types of puzzles As I do them all I think about is how much was put into erecting them We need to build buildings like this today

Beautiful. So detailed that I'm not surprised it isn't finished yet!

This is a gorgeous castle. It would sure be nice to go through it. I wonder how many rooms there are in it. It's for sure I will never see it but I can enjoy the pictures. Nice puzzle and fun to do. God bless you all and have a nice week end. The weeks go so fast.

God bless everyone.
