Gaudi's Bench, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

The unique shape of the serpentine bench enables the people sitting on it to converse privately, although the square is large. The bench is tiled and in order to dry up quickly after it rains, and to stop people from sitting in the wet part of the bench, small bumps were installed by Gaudí.

Hi dear Barbara

Oh this is by that "Gaudi"! Very comfortable image by composition of many horizontal rays. Interting and color motif on the back of bench is so wonderful and impressive. Very well considered and carculated framework. Top quality shot as usual. Thanks for your sharing and have a good Sunady!

Dear Barb

What a fantastic composition. The tight framing is lovely and the colours, shapes and light make this a superb photo. What a clever boy that Gaudi was, and how clever is Barb for creating such a lovely photo.

Thanks for sharing, have a beautiful day

Hi Barbara's
Beautiful paintings on the tile in the foreground with a background of beautiful flowers will appear. One on top of the bridge has very good depth. Very well, my friend.

Regards, Ali

colourful the decoration of Gaudi's bench with its shape to be also unique.The falling light brings out the details of the erpentine bench with its construction to be so useful for the people who use it.

Hi Barbara,
Who did not sit on this mosaic-banch in Parc-Guel... the known location withn the gaudy work and spirit all around.
Lovely colors, and fine clear view upon, a great place to remember.

Barbara, what did you do with the people? Did you pay them to leave the bench?:)))) It's almost imposible to shoot these wonderful bench without thousand of turists! I like the composition very much, the parallelism of both architectures. Great work!
Cheers,
Juan

Witaj Barbaro,
chyba najbardziej rozpoznawalny element Parku Güell.Znakomicie skadrowany.Kolory jakie udalo ci sie wydobyc sa piekne.Rowniez kontrast oraz swiatlo pomagaja tutaj w wykreowaniu tak nastrojowej atmosfery.Piekne miejsce,ktore swietnie obrazuje geniusz Gaudiego.Nie wiem czy sie ze mna zgodzisz,ale Barcelona ma naprawde szczescie do znakomitych architektow,tak w przeszlosci,jak i teraz.Niesamowite rowniez,ze udalo ci sie uniknac ludzi w kadrze-bylem tam o 9 rano tuz po otwarciu i bylo juz pelno turystow,przede wszystkim zorganizowanych grup,wiec musialem sporo pokombinowac zeby zrobic zdjecie bez turystow:)Piekna kompozycja.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Krzysiek

Witaj Basiu,
Tym zdjęciem fantastycznie przywołałaś moje wspomnienia z Barcelony. Ten park pełen architektonicznych i designerskich perełek jest cudownym miejscem. Daje ogromne pole popisu dla fotografii. Tobie wyszło cudnie!:)
Pozdrowienia,
