Barcelona Spain

This trip I made with a friend of mine Pauline who teaches a few of us spanish during the week and we fancied going to Barcelona to practice our spanish ... I chose a few photos as I thought ohh I bet alot of people over the pond may have never seen this or been there...
What a treat this will be then ... talk about inspiration Gaudis' work ... well just have a look.
In the boqueria they even have some influence from Gaudi with the tiling at the back of the fish market. There are the buildings that he did right in amongst regular buildings.. wonderful.
Then there is the church which is just magnificent and will go back again to see the progress from when we were there last. (Dec 2003 ) and look at the blue skies.
Then there is the park ... well have a look and enjoy , tell me what you think.

What a selection of seafood fresh and still moving..... Barcelona boqueria  

Like a kid in a candy shop .. now there is some candy .. this is in LA BOQUERIA  

Building right in the middle of the city beside normal looking buildings.. again Gaudis' work 

These are the mosaic balls that go up top of the spires on the church. 

Older side of Sagilia Familia Church that Gaudi was working on .. its still being worked on now and lots more to be finished. 

Ceiling mosaics that Gaudi did at the park this is underneath the open air park was to be a market place but this never happened. 

Mosaics by Gaudi

Parque Guell in Barcelona 2003
Hard to get a photo of this with no other people in it.
Piece that Gaudi did in Parque Guell mosaics.

Hoya and what I have been up to

Hoya in bloom
Guess its about time I posted again .. this morning took
a picture of my hoya that has come into bloom ... I love
plants I have quite a few of them but this one I got from a small
cutting last year and look this year .. in bloom.
Coming home from work today I got out of the car put it
in the garage and I could hear the pheasants squawking, then
I could hear the owl hooting .. not sure what type of owl it is
but I hope to catch a picture of him sometime .. must stalk him !!
Still working on the chair tonight seems to be much slower going then
the last chair.... and of course here I am putting stuff in my blog...
Like that is going to help me get this done... ok off I go to finish them...
see you soon.
