Gaudi's Gaudy Guell Part One
Park Guell is a magical place. I have never been to anywhere like it. I've never been to a park where I have to climb up a hill just to get to the entrance.
On this first part, I will show a part of the park called the wave portico. I don't have to say anything else, just enjoy the pictures.
I knew nothing about this park, except that we penciled it in our itinerary after my husband remembered seeing it in one of the Spanish movies we have seen. I can't remember which foreign movie it was (we love foreign movies), but apparently the movie made more of an impression to my dear than it did to me. But I am very thankful that he remembered this place.
For more information, check this out, or this, or this.You probably have guessed that this Barcelona series is not a chronologically presented. And I'm sorry that I did that. It was lack of foresight on my part.
oh that's why its called "wave portico" coz its slanted. :P
ReplyDeletewhat a strange and maginificent place! i was going to ask if it was really slanted, but then the question was already answered by princess_dyanie.
ReplyDeleteSuperbes images.
ReplyDeleteJe découvre ton blog par hasard, dans un de mes “tours de blogs amis de mes amis”
C´est très intéressant. Je reviendrai sans doute parce que j´aime la photographie comme tu peux voir sur mon propre blog, mais tout à fait amateur.
