  • Sagrada Familia - Barcelona (large pic)


    Taken with Olympus OM-D E-M1 + 12-40 lens - A.mode - f.2.8 - iso 200 etc

    I have not removed the cranes as the church is still being built and much work is still needed before completion.

    I have many more pix to put through Photoshop Elements as our travels took Anne and I to Barcelona, Valencia and Peniscola.

    If you would like to see (many) more please leave a comment.

    Regards. Barr1e

    Barcelona is one of the most famous ancient cities in the world. The center of the old city is the Gothic Quarter. It still has many structures that were built during the Middle Ages, and even some buildings that were built around the time of the first Roman settlements...

      Definitely would like to see more. I did a bike tour of Barcelona and was fascinated by the story of the Sagrada Familia.

          Been to Barcelona several times now and have visited the Gaudi park but only ever been driven past the Gaudi Basilica itself - never stopped to look around. Will it ever be completed?!

              The Sagrada Familia is the most visited tourist attraction in Barcelona, 3,000,000 visitors a year. It is a work of immense proportions and is revered by the World of Architecture as one of the most original and ambitious modern buildings.

              We didn't wait the two hours to gain entrance to this fantastic building and I would suggest one carries a bottle of water if you do.





              I doubt, but hope, I may see it finished in the year 2026, however this video shows it in all its glory.

              This video is 17 minutes long but well worth viewing I think.

              More pix to come from around Barcelona.

              Here I must praise the OM-D E-M1 coupled with the 12-40 lens, not only did it perform superbly in hot conditions but its size was just right for crowded situations.

                The last shot shows it off beautifully.

                  Especially without the cranes.

                          I think I can see some Dali inspiration flowing around in there
