The Imagination of Gaudi






I spent only half a day in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Now, seeing photographs of Gaudi's architecture at its richest, I wish I could have explored the city longer. Perhaps one day...

I seldom care for modern architecture, but Gaudi really does epitomise the fairytale landscape rendered in a religious context.

Gateway to Spain...

These photographs were taken on a trip I dearly would have loved to have taken... first to Barcelona, Toledo and Madrid, then to Avignon and Carcassonne and finally to Pisa, Assisi and Roma.

A sampling of Spanish architecture, art and natural beauty...
