After spending time on the opposite façade in earlier posts, this time the focus shifts to a quieter moment at the Nativity Portal, photographed from behind the gates in the late afternoon, when the crowds had finally thinned and the stone details emerged in soft, warm light, revealing Gaudí’s small symbolic touches like the turtles that anchor the columns as a sign of time and stability.
PS: Next Tuesday I start my summer holidays (full August). I will post when I am back from Paris and Disney Land Paris around August 8th. I want you all to understand that this is just a break along the way and not a farewell. When I am back I will be travelling around Spain so I will be able to use my archives at least twice a week. The intention is not to give up and return with more energy in September. This is a fascinating hobby, as fascinating as time consuming but what the heck, as long as there is somehing to shoot at!.
