Roof terrace chimneys

Gaudí created chimneys and air vents in fantastical shapes taken from nature in Catalonia, such as mushrooms growing in groups and seeking light. There are four arrangements of chimneys on the roof, similar but yet each one different in design and decoration.

You have given me a powerful desire to see this fantasy for myself. ~V~

it seems more like a sculpture than something functional..

Love this capture Helen! It's difficult to shoot the chimneys without getting other people in the image.... V

wow! How on earth did you get up there? The relatively poor light has actually helped you retain the colour of the tilework on these chimneys

A work of art even on the chimney! Lovely shot, Helen. V
