Sagrada Familia Interior
2024
The open lobby of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona is a soaring space filled with natural light streaming through vibrant stained-glass windows. Tall, tree-like columns branch upward, creating the illusion of a stone forest that supports the immense vaulted ceiling. The interplay of color, shadow, and intricate detail gives the interior a sense of movement and reverence, reflecting Antoni Gaudí’s vision of blending nature, faith, and architecture.

So much to see. So much to explore. Masses of people in densely populated cities, taxing the senses of a neophyte tourist. Centuries of civilizations leaving their marks for future societies to explore.
Cloisonne Factory
1978
This was a government-owned factory in Beijing China. These two workers paint. They don't throw, bake, glaze, dry or sell . They never learn the whole process.
That was China in in 1978.

Sydney Harbor Bridge
2008
At night I took a ferry just past the harbor bridge so I could get some photographs of the Bridge with the Opera House in the background. Awesome.
Friday morning I planned on walking the Harbor Bridge but the rain was pelting and wind driven now. The Aussies rejoiced because they're in the midst of a 5-year drought. I smiled and took credit for bringing the rain, cursing on the inside.
