La Sagrada Familia-A work in Progress.

I'm finally getting time to upload some photos from Barcelona. Though I have some negative memories of Barcelona it's still in my top five favorite cities list. La Sagrada Familia is world famous for a number of reasons: architect(Gaudi), place(Barcelona), movement/time period, the fact that it is still in construction after almost 100 years, and designed at a time when the technology didn't even exist to complete it. All of these make it famous, and create a fascinating story, but what made the building for me was it's interior. It isn't even complete, but it creates a space that is extraordinary. Here are a few of my photos from the church. It isn't anywhere near complete, and I believe it will be named the Cathedral upon its completion.It's to be consecrated by pope Benedict XVI on November 7, 2010.
All the windows will eventually be stained like above^

transept 2(notice tree with doves in the center)^I got to go up the transept towers to get a closer look at the tree with doves from the observation deck. ^From the observation deck toward the central tower-under construction. When Gaudi planned the tower it was structurally impossible.It's expected to be complete around 2026^
