The Sagrada de Familia's nave, designed by Antoni Gaudi. A pyramid of light is in the background, amidst the scaffolding. Work on the Barcelona church is not expected to be finished until at least 2026.
Mid-afternoon sunlight and shadows at play among the sunbursts and flowers.
Arches and curves, along with a wire sculpture in one section of the Sagrada.
In the church's nave, a mini-construction site.
A curving stairwell along one wall, still under construction. I shot this photo through a hole in a hanging screen designed to block dust and debris.
I can just see you poking your camera through the scaffolding :)
These images are stunning Tara

Wow. It's too pretty to be real. Almost looks like paper cutouts.

I don't know why, but these beautiful photographs remind me of a garden, with lots of flowers. Big sunflowers and daisies. this is gorgeous.

These shots are really breath-taking! I scrolled through them a few times to take in the incredible, artistic beauty in spite of all the construction work around! What an awesome place to see!
