What an imagination that guy must have had! Incredible architecture. Thanks Fred, Alistair

Awww yes I can see the resemblance to a sharks jaw! Thanks so much for letting us know a bit more about these places. That Miro Museum is such a wondeful building and this building is very interesting too. Look at those circular, maybe bubbles??, around on the wall. Now that you said shark I see the ocean on the building with bubbles.

Thanks Shirley. In brief Antoni Gaudi was a Catalan architect who made fantastic buildings. Very colorful and oddly designed to say the least. He was very inspired by the organic forms in nature, and those very balconies are probably modeled after shark jaws.

I really like these balconies! The look like skulls on a shell! The tile walls are really something too. Fred please tell us more about these shots you've entered. Enquiring minds want to know!
