A couple more curves...

Couldn't resist some "travel photo" curves

 

As I have posted before, I love the works of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. A highlight of last year was visiting Barcelona, where many of his beautiful buildings can be seen. Above is the exterior of the Casa Battlio, and left and below are 2 shots from inside the main entertainment room.


The man had a thing about curves - there are very few straight lines in his buildings. On the roof there are all sorts of little chimney and ventilation shaft coverings - all of them rounded.



Two more shots of the exterior.

And finally, another ventilation cover, from the roof of the house 
called La Pedrera:
