A pretty lady sits on a bench

Many people sit where she's sitting, to grab the warmth of the sun or to look in awe at the Barcelona Cathedral.

I try to be at the basilica an average of once a week. Each time I go it's a new discovery, especially when natural light changes, the ambiance of the church transforms and you can feel and see the same occurring in the public.

I strongly urge you to come and see this magnificent architectural structure.

Oh, yes! Don't bother bringing your selfie sticks ... they're cheap at the cathedral.

Meet me at the apple store!!

I took this photo from the top of the Cortes Ingles (department store) restaurant.

There's a reflection of a young woman to the right of the photo ... whom I don't know, because, ah ... you guessed it, there's a window between me and the city.

And, for your information, I and height don't mix, so, I'm very proud of this picture.

Name That City!

Hey there. Let's play a game.

Can you identify the city and its buildings?

 Name That City!

Have fun!

And,

Place notes.

Sala de las cien columnas

Can you imagine setting up a grocery store in the Louvre museum?

Do you think the room with the Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Mona Lisa could be a hairdresser shop?

At the Parque Güell there is an area called the Sala de las cien columnas or Space of 100 columns that has over 80 pillars resembling giant stalagmites found in a cave.

Sala de las cien columnas

Barcelona, 2008

When you look at the ceiling, there are four circular rosettes representing the four seasons.

Around each rosette are four smaller ones representing the lunar cycle.

Hard to believe that this enclosed space was once a market for the local residents in the area.

Antoni Gaudi designed the Parque Güell and the Gaudi style is everywhere. For the ceiling, he collaborated with Josep Maria Jujol.

They did the hard part … I just sat on the floor and pulled the trigger.
