A quick post to show an image taken this morning in Sagrada Familia, the famous Gaudi basilica.
This is a JPEG, wifi-ed from camera direct to the iPhone. The X T1 is proving a dream so far although battery life seems a bit short.
I am loving its weight or lack thereof.
Lots more to come when we get home.
Beautiful image, pretty good use of light 🙂
Thank you. We were there in the morning. Late afternoon is supposed to be better. I may go again!!
That is just beautiful.
And I’m so sorry about Casa B. I feel I’ve sent you on a wild goose chase and while I know you probably would’ve preferred chasing wild geese, I didn’t expect you to have to put up with herds of the human variety.
Jenny, we were going anyway and had had lunch at Tapas 24. Very close by. No problem.
Wow! Very beautiful indeed. Wonderful how images an be easily wifi-ed to phones and posted. Looking forward to more!
Thanks Caroline. I might print this one if it looks good on a big screen.
Very interesting combination of light and color with really mesmerizing lines and shapes. Pretty cool start, Andrew.
I’m a pretty cool dude, Steve. 😁
The Sagrada Familia is an amazing set of complex spaces. Love this photo.
Thank you Hilary. I was hugely impressed by the architecture. Quite magnificent.
Brilliant, in both senses, Andrew ! We went to Barça, and we loved it. I look forward more than I can say to everything that comes from there.
Thanks M.R. Will post more when we get back. Just a few odds and ends in the meantime. It’s an interesting place but 90% of the population seems to smoke like a chimney 😢
All over Spain, m’dear, all over the whole country. All I can say in their defence is that many of ’em smoke cigarettes unknown to us, that don’t stink quite as vilely, and that just might have less killing stuff in ’em. Dunno. Can only hope.
Very sad and rather irritating to those of us with breathing difficulties. I quite like the smell of pipe and even cigar tobacco but ciggies are just coarse, acrid and antisocial. Like me, I guess 😉
And me. Except for the acrid. [grin]
Andrew, this is over the top photography. I’m captivated by the lines and colors of the scene. The Gaudi basilica is an enthralling work of art.
Thanks Yvonne. I’ll do a piece on this properly when we get back. I’m fighting fatigue at the moment.
Smashing picture! The colour and light is terrific. Did you do the climb?
Yes Lottie. By lift! But walked down. 😁
like a dream sequence Andrew,… and you peaked my interest, so I’ve been Googling aGain, xPenx
