Trees by endika

When Antoni Gaudi was asked on his project for the Holy Family Basilica, he used to answer "you have to think about a forest". It's a real privilege to see such magical trees grow.

Thank you for your comments!
This is the most visited monument of Barcelona: the Holy Family Temple
http://www.sagradafamilia.org/eng/index.htm
Started to build more than 100 years ago (only the anonymous donations and the visit tickets are allowed to finance the building works), it's still in construction. Normally, we visit always buildings and monuments that are finished, but in this case the people who live in Barcelona we can assist to the birth of such wonder and realize the progresses every time we visit the works. endika

Wow look at the stained glass illumination on the column/ trunk. I like the idea of community - forest works very well. Is this a work in progress? It looks like there is a lot of scaffolding in place. I cannot imagine what it would take to change a light bulb in the ceiling (if there are any). wonderful perspective, Endika.

Very nicely done and it is only a great pity that all that staging(?) are visible, but you can't avoid them.

Very good one Kike. I've got to come back to the church from last challenge, and shoot those reflections again. Your use of perspective is excellent in this one.

Wow, Endika. The church never looked like this to me, but I can see it in your perspective and rendering. Very well done. Good stuff.
