Parc Güell



Parc Güell is most known attraction of Barcelona, the Wikipedia
has very good description and links to that. Okay, let's see Dragon, Gaudi's house, great termitary and beautiful ceiling; let's do some megabytes of photos with tourists and fragments of Antonio Gaudi's opus magnum. And then?
Then sit down and enjoy surprising calmness, views to the sea and city, people playing ball,
watch incredible colors of mosaics in soft, mediterranean light. Opus magnum, indeed.

What do doves think about Colom?



Unlike most monuments, I like Colom. I've been reflecting on neither shape nor its beauty but always wonder, what the hell was author's intention of the figure's gesture.
"There is a sea way to India"
"This is right direction".
"I'm back from there"
"This is my ship, anyway"
"This is a sea".
...and much more that I've forgotten at the moment.
But this one is my favourite:
"Get away from here!"
