Another masterwork from the genial architecht Gaudí, and maybe the best known in Barcelona apart from the Sagrada Família, the Casa Milà or La Pedrera as it is also known. It was completed in 1911 and received a less than enthusiastic response (things of life!).The rippled stone façade, said to have been inspired by the mountain of Montserrat, curves around the street corner, while the cave-like balconies seem to flow into one another. The wrought-iron balconies were individually designed and crafted by Gaudi's frequent collaborator, Josep Maria Jujol. It was Gaudi's last work before devoting himself to his masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia church, which, along with the Park Guell, round out the three main Gaudi attractions in Barcelona.
I hope you enjoy it.

Otra obra maestra del fenial arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, y quizás la mejor conocida en Barcelona, aparte de la Sagrada Família, la Casa Milà o La Pedrera, cómo también se la conoce. La Casa Milà fué terminada en 1911 y no recibió precisamente una acogida muy entusiasta (cosas de la vida!). De la extraña pero hermosísima fachada de piedra, se dice que Gaudí sacó la inspiración de las montañas de Montserrat. Los balcones de hierro fundido, fueron diseñados y forjados uno a uno por el entonces habitual colaborador de Gaudí, Josep Maria Jujol. Fué la última obra de Gaudí, antes de dedicarse por completo a su obra mas reverenciada, la Sagrada família, las cuales junto con el Parc Güell conforman el trío de principales attracciones del arquitecto en la ciudad de Barcelona.
Espero que la disfruteís.

Hi Felip!
This is one of the many impressive and beautiful buildings and monuments around Barcelona!
I was there in 2004 and when I saw "La Pedrera" and went up to its rooftop, I definitely fell in love with the city!"
That's a very nice nightshot of it!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hello Felip,
C’était un architecte exceptionnel Antoni Gaudi, un génie !
Tu as choisi un très bon point de vue pour photographier cet immense immeuble,
Bon dimanche et à bientôt,
Robert

Hola Felip:

Preciosa foto, con una gran nitiez, y iluminación, es una arquitectura genial como todas las de Gaudí, felicidades por el trabajo ya por la noche es más difícil hacer las fotos, pero esta te quedo perfecta.

Un saludo,

Hi Felip!
A great nightshot of this unique GAUDI architecture.It`s a very good exposure with nice golden tones and great contrast with the black sky.
Regards,leo

Hola Felip!

Gran foto nocturna, amigo, de este edificio emblematico (existe esa palabra en espanol?) de Barcelona y quizas la mejor obra de Gaudi! La composicion es sencilla pero perfecta para ese tipo de fotos, asimismo el encuadre "cerrado". La exposicion esta perfecta, pero preferiria un White Balance, mas "frio". Sin duda, una foto impresionante!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Ciao Felip,
una bellissima notturna per una fantastica architettura, credo che ci sia troppo giallo forse la temperatura colore non era giusta dimmi cosa ne pensi (o forse e' il mio moitor)

HOLA FELIP,
MUY BUENA FOTOGRAFIA, LA CALIDAD DE RESOLUCIÓN SIENDO DE NOCHE, ES PERFECTA. LA LUZ ES CALIDA Y NO CARGA EN EXCESO. POR SUPUESTO EL CONTRASTE ESTÁ PERFECTAMENTE EQUILIBRADO. BUEN TRABAJO. UN SALUDO.

Hi Felip,

A very nice night shot. The bright building looks really beautiful against the very dark sky. I also like the inclusion of some people that make us understand the size of the building. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,


Ulf

Hola Felip,
Una toma nocturna de La Pedrera, muy lograda. Me gusta ese tono dorado que le da un aspecto diferente y también que no haya coches interrupiendo la foto, imagino que la tomarías de madrugada. magnífico trabajo.
Saludos,
Charo

Hello Felip, Very beautiful & unusual building, well captured in excellent colour & detail. I think taking this famous building at night was a very good idea it creates a wonderful warm & elegant atmosphere.
Bravo.

Hola Felip
Have seen quite a few pictures of this landmark, but the first time am seeing a night shot of it. The exposure is fine, except maybe a touch of OE in the near FG. Against the dark sky, the building really stands out. The sculpture at the top left looks like a creature with light in it's eyes. Well done my friend!

Bonjour Felip,
un curieux bâtiment que des lumières nocturnes rendent encore plus original.
Cadrage et POV bien choisis, l'exposition bien réglée permet un bon rendu de toutes les lumières basses et hautes.
Un ciel bien noir, contrastant.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hola Felip,
Un placer para mí, ver de nuevo esta casa excepcional, con un estilo tan particolar a Gaudi.
Yo pienso al mar, cuando veo todas estas curvas :-)
Una bonita foto nocturna.
Un saludo,
Marianne

Hi Felip,
it is very interesting to view this renown building in this "golden dress". You managed very well the light and all the particulars of the house are clearly visible.
TFS.
Gabriele

Hi Felip!
This photo is really beautifull and impressive!
I love Gaudi's works, they are fantastic all day long, but in the night this building started to live his own life. Looks like animal...
Absolutely stunning photo!
Regards

Good night picture of this beautiful and famous building, compliments.
Ciao
Vinicio
