And now for something completely different, a modernist lamp at Portal del Angel, a very important street in Barcelona, near Plaza de Catalunya. Perfectly preserved, the lamp can be admired from a close distance since it is almost at street level. Other elaborate art nouveau lamps were shown here in the past: Art Nouveau Lamps.

ReplyDeleteC'est peut-être un lampadaire à gaz, vu qu'il orne la porte de l'ancienne compagnie de gaz catalane, tel que le rappelle les initiales entrelacées qui le décore ?
ReplyDeleteAn exquisite shot of a gorgeous lamp. I cannot believe how much I feel all the various textures in this photo. What a treat!

ReplyDeleteDear Carlos,
ReplyDelete...thank you for the good time I've had on your blog.... for all the beauty and the interesting stories.
May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain,
tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
Happy New Year!
Ulla
I hope you'll be back in the new year Carlos, I would rather miss your pics if you weren't!

What a gorgeous lamp, you are lucky to have such a rich history in your city. Happy new Year!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I would like to say I needed some rest. Many have seen me perhaps on twitter or social median. That's is not so consuming as taking a picture and writing a post. But I will keep up the blog. Happy New Year.
ReplyDelete-LOL Deborah, cleaning that up must be tough.
-La Sudiste, you are right, that must be the place and those the initials. I was in a hurry and decided to skip that important info you so kindly have added. -Thanks! Merci. (I translate your words "Maybe that's a gas lamp. I have seen that it adorns the door to old Catalan de Gas company as indicated by the interlinked initials?")
-Happy New Year Lydia and family. Thanks for your kind comment.
-Happy New Year Claire. I love your photos.
-Ulla, your words are very flattering. Thanks. Happy New Year
-Well, yes, Uma that PDF would be great. Some day I will visit your lovely country Portugal. Happy New Year
-Thanks bitingmidge. As I said above I'll be back. Happy New Year
-Thanks so much jo. Happy New Year
