The Gaudi From A Distance Photo

Photographer’s Note

This distant architectural image was originally designed by Antoni Gaudi. Work on this Modernist cathedral was started by Gaudi in 1883 and he continued to work obsessively on the project until his death in 1926 (he was hit by a tram in Girona). Many of Gaudi's building plans were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War leading to an ongoing debate as to how his masterpiece should progress. The completion date for the "Sagrada Familia", the structure in the distance, is estimated to be around 2030 (taking about 150 years to build).

Hello David,
I am sorry to be late with expressing my opinion about your photos again, but, I humbly hope, better late than never! :)
I must say that, to me, this is a very imperssive and a bit unusual view of part of this big city! I've never been to Barcelona, but I hope to visit it one day. I especially like this gradual transition from crisp, rich colours in the FG to very hazy, blurred BG. I have an impression as if this cathedral stands out like an alien creature which, for some strange reason, happened to find itself in the city...
Warm greetings from cold autumnal Moscow,
Elena
