The roof in sunlight

One of the reasons we returned to Barcelona was because we wanted to see it in sunlight, and the weather was absolutely perfect up on this roof this time around.

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. This is the front of the house, with the "dragon's back," shot from behind.
