The external beauty of La Sagrada Familia

Crossed the street; was attracted by the holly leaves atop some fence posts (above).

This is one of the main sides of the structure; snapped from outside the fence ie free viewing.

There is a small admission fee to be paid to get you through the gates.

A shot of the same side, taken from up close.

The 'must have' shot of Penny at the La Sagrada Familia.



P1100281
And a 'must have' shot with me in it.

 


P1100283
The lighter coloured part on the left was newly-built.
The entire structure is still a construction in progress.
It's a safe bet that it'll not be completed in this century ie by 2099.

 


P1100285
This is another side of the structure.
Are those massive columns (on the left in photo) for a part of the structure or a temporary support structure?

 


P1100290
Can you spot someone up on one of the balconies?

 P1100377

Can you spot the snails and other crawlies on the building?

P1100387
And the herald angels in the two photos (above and below)?

Why do they always build columns on the backs of tortoises?
