More trip photos

Its snowing and we have a few inches on the ground- can't complain since we don't have much compared to other places- but its means shoveling and we were actually getting quite a bit of bare ground. Tis the season though.
These are just a few photos from this very very cool house in Barcelona designed by Gaudi- he had an ocean/St. George and the dragon theme going on here- like a giant seamonster.
You can see how the stairs have this edge like a backbone- got to love it.
This picture is a bit dark but I really wanted to capture the blue circles of glass-this is looking out the big mouth area onto the main street below. The color blue was used so much- and I love the mosaics and tilework done here and all the Gaudi places we looked at- I love tile- I love its earthiness and colors.
Anyhow-this was one of the 4 Gaudi places we visted last Saturday in this beautiful city. I highly recommend if you ever get to Barcelona not to miss this architecture.
