Watched a video of Gaudi's work today, and I don't think I'll see anything more amzing today. I love his organic forms, and the sense of fun that pervades much of his work, despite the fact that he was an ultra-religious ascetic. He manages to transcend that to reach a place where worship commingles with honouring your genius to the full.

Thanks to campru for the flickr post on creative commons of this beautiful photo.

  1. Hey Stranger,
    This makes me think of some sort of benevolent dinosaur or alien.
    I wanted to let you know that I like looking at your 'wonder of the day'. Great photography and wonderful concept/stories.

  2. P.S. I hadn't heard of the Camino de Santiago before you made your pilgrimmage, but now, a bit like seeing pregnant women everywhere you go when you are, I feel that I am hearing reference to it at least once a week! The latest: bumped into a friend on Wolfe Island's Big Sandy Bay who has done it and the Chemin de St. Jacques in France.
    Amaretto.
