GaudiLand

Thanks to Antoni Gaudi's insanely innovative and bizarre architecture, visiting Barcelona is like walking through a Guillermo del Toro movie set - everything is beautiful, eerie, incredible, fantastical.  To me, his buildings are so strange and differently beautiful that, when I look at them, I am filled with confusion and disbelief.
Get ready for a torrent of photographs here, because I could not stop click-clicking away...

 Not just any old apartment building.

Now, all of the following pictures are of la Sagrada Familia.  It is so overwhelming that it deserves many pictures.
First, the outside:

Doesn't this look like leaves, or earth,from far away? Actually, here I am looking up at the archway, and this is all carved and enormous.  Try to pick out people, creatures...you can even spot some stained glass if you look very hard.

And now, look at the inside (!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It is so full of light...you feel more outdoors when you are in this building than when you are out of it. It is like being in a vast elvin forest, full of tall, thin, white trees and bright sunlight. It also feels like being in a huge but elegant skeleton.
