In my previous post, I introduced you to the Modernist architecture style of Antoni Gaudí. The last 15 years of his life were spent working on his masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia. (The Holy Family) It's a Catholic basilica in central Barcelona. Construction was slowed by both Gaudí's death in 1926 - he was run over by a tram - and by the Spanish Civil War, which began in 1935. From what I can see, there is a lot left to be done. In any event, the structure is massive and pictures don't do it justice. Although, it does help to enlarge the pictures by clicking on them. Also, please check out the following Wikipedia link for more information.

No shots of the cement tree on the north facade? That's the bestest part imo.

Monkey,
Didn't notice the cement tree. Sorry.
Nice 'Cranes', but they look slightly more modern than the cathedral.....
Those aren't cranes, those are angel arms helping baby Jebus.
