Ok so another Gaudi post, these two are from the seats in the previous post.
The mosaic below is in the ceiling underneath the main terrace, the ceiling is covered in mosaics and supported by a set of columns .
At the entrance of the Parc is a magnificent, huge Gecko, if you want to tale a picture of it without another person in the way you have about one and half seconds before the next person who wants to have their photo taken by the Gecko comes along and stands in the way.
The cathedral has eight spires, two sets of four. This is the view from one of the towers looking at the other set of four, with Barcelona in the background. Not a good idea to wear a hat as it's a long way down if it is blown off.
Sagrada Familia is possibly one of the most beautiful and interesting cathedrals in the World (but then perhaps you know better). The entrance doors are decorated with three dimensional writing, many of the huge number of visitors are so keen to do a quick tour of the building that they walk straight past these doors without stopping to take a look. The phenomenon of creating instant crowds can be demonstrated by taking a photograph of the door, suddenly eveyone stops and is interested in what the subject is, it must be important as someone is taking a photo of it. The building started in 1882 and it has yet to be finished, work continues today.
