Front door, and ever-present toursim

I tried hard to get a nicer picture of these wonderful doors, but the tour woman refused to leave and certainly wasn't going to get rid of all the distractions in my way. We went to this apartment house on two separate days; the day this was taken the line of people waiting to get in stretched halfway around the entire city block. We made reservations that evening and walked right in the next day to see the interior.

This is the exterior of the doors in this lobby:

Actually, I like the inclusion of the woman. It "dates" the image. I would love to see more people pictures in your galleries! :-)

It would have been nice if the red arrow sign could have grown legs and walked - but I guess it would have to be done for everyone and somehow they aren't open to that idea. I'm surprised. Gaudi is such a visitor drawcard you would think they would do everything they could to enhance the views of his work. Never mind. Another view of his artistry, and very welcome.
