Serpentine bench by Gaudi |
From 1900 to 1914 Antoni Gaudi directed the construction of this park for Eusebi Güell.
In 1923, Güell's family gave the estate property to the city. Another jewel for mankind to treasure. How many people came to sit on this bench, how many couples , how many families?
I gathered some images trying to be original but this was no virgin territory. You almost have to elbow your way to take a decent picture. The sun is disappearing fast leaving behind soft golden tones on top of the broken shards of tile, no one in the way, I can't believe it. Click.
This decoration is so beautiful and your photo let it be seen so well. Thank you also for a wonderful tour in Park Güell.

Carlos, That is some bench! I saw Gaudi's work once a long time ago. Rather than serenity and peace as described in the link, I felt overwhelmed because of its unusual nature. It is more than remarkable
ReplyDeleteto like Gaudi is almost like a commonplace...but I cant help..I love his works:) and your photos Carlos!
