Barcelona 2015- Casa Batlló

You cannot tour Barcelona...


                                      ...without being exposed in some fashion... 



                            ...to the opulence and colorful excess of Antoni Gaudí!



                               Casa Batlló  (known locally as the "House of Bones")...

                                    ...is filled with his wonderful Modernist details.



                             There are organically-shaped windows of colored glass...



                                                    ...and lustrous ceramics...








                                                      ...sinuous white walls...



                                        ...and some rather menacing iron fencing!



                                                  Meanwhile, up on the roof...
                         


                                                           ...a dragon sleeps! :)





                                  I took an extended European holiday this spring...

                                             ...and Barcelona was my first stop.

                                                              Stay tuned...

                                               ...there's more color ahead!
