hard to breathe

 

All the fire and smoke makes it hard to breathe, but people seem to like it. Even the vistor comes into some kind of trance or delirious state...

If you want to join this state, i just invite you to click on the photos in oder to enlarge them.

No escape

 

In the end, the central square and all the streets around are full of these firecrackers and firedancers.

Firedevils 2

 

The fire devils come from all sides, you just stick in the middle of them.

Attention

 

You have to pay attention, that your clothes dont catch fire.

Symbolic animals

 

Symbolic animals are runing into the gathered crowd and explode amid the peple, I admit it was a little bit frightening.

firedevils

 

Many people also disguise as devils, red firedevils.

test of courage

 

The young people are dancing this fire dance as a test of courage. It reminds of a Saint, Santa Eulalia, who was tortured with fire.

Sparks

 

We all have the image of people dancing in the rain, here peple are dancing in the sparks of fire.

Firedances

 

than you hear firecrackers and you see people in jerking motion.

Surprise

 

Suddely there were cries in the night, coloured fogs and torches, at first it seems as a bomb attac.

A young town

 

Barcelona is a young town, many tourists and students.

Self portrait

 

Once again a crazy house, la casa Vincente. By the way, do you find me?

Carneval everywhere

 

Barcelona is a city of colours, here again in the carneval masks you find nearly the colours as in the Sagrada Familia.

No corners

 

It seems as if Gaudi was a scolar of Rudolf Steiner: her rejects corners and prefers all round forms. As if the buidings were flowers.

cloister courtyard

 

This is not Gaudi, this is the cloister courtyard of the central cathedral. But still impressing.

Near the sea

 

From the parc Guell you ´have a great view over the town. The mediteranean sea is always nearby.

Parc Guell

 

This crazy archtecture is continued in other places of the town. Everywhere you find works of Antoni Gaudi, here the entrance of the parc Guell.

The very beginning

 

Here you see the beginning of the works, some decades before. The belltowers look as moon rockets.

Outside

 

...all this, while outside works are not finished by far.

Lights on

 

Do you need any more explanation, why I think that god is light and that light is a devine messenger? I am not very esoteric, but when you see this spendid colurs, you will feel the same.

Parts of the roof

 

There are strange holes and stars in the ceiling. What might Gaudi have thought by this elements? The direct way to heaven?

Roof

 

Here you see the works tio build the roof. You can already anticipate the glory of the final work.

Light and darkness

 

Light and darkness are playing a wounderfull game.

God is colour

 

Just some of the windows and the ceiling are ready, but what is ready, is marvelous. The lights and the colours of those windows, which are finished, are realy breath taking.

The interior

 

There is just a small path for the visitors inside, the rest is on construction. It seems as if there is enough work still for the next hundred years.
