SPIRAL

In addition, especially after such a hiatus I feel an explanation is in order. The pictures in the previous post are all in Barcelona near or in things made by Antonio Gaudi. For those that don't know him he was a really talented architect, but was walking across the street from his masterpiece church (as seen in the top picture) and he got hit by a car and died.

Until then he liked to make mosaic covered buildings that look like real life ginger bread houses. I wish he made more things and hid them in the forest somewhere, so someone could go and discover them and be like WHOA! I found a village of little people!!! A real life Hansel and Gretel- Grim's-Fairytale PLACE!!! But he didn't. Too bad.

He took a lot from nature, and this staircase is the perfect example. Yes it is the good ol conch shell made into a spiraling staircase. As I walked down from the tower this thing really freaked me out. I am not scared of heights or whatever but being in this enclosed space was a trip. It gave me vertigo, and I could have sworn that the little black hole in the center was a straight line to hell. If it was I could probably figure out a few people to push down it, but instead I just hugged the wall and walked fast...
