Photographer's Note
This image has been taken at the roof of the Palau Güell located in Barcelona and designed by architect Antoni Gaudí for the Catalan industrial tycoon Eusebi Güell.
Perhaps the most striking space of the building is the roof. There are eighteen chimneys and ventilators, some plain brick, some trencadís jig-saw puzzle fragments of tiles, decorating geometrical or organically shaped caps poised on columns.
Gaudí was the first Spanish architect to recover the old Moorish style of using fragments of tile to decorate a surface and on the roof of the Palau Güell, his first attempt at trencadís, he was riffing on the theme, showing off subtle variations on similar structures, playing with the effects of the changing light. It makes magical landscape against the backdrop of old Barcelona. Source: barcelona-tourist-information.info

Hello Gosia, ineteresting shot here. Good contrast with the sky. I have to admit that Gaudi's creations look so peculiar, i can't say that i'm his biggest fan. Good idea to shoot from underneath. Well done.

Gosia - what a bizarre structure you've shown us today! I'm not sure I would have made the Moorish connection had you not specified it in your note. I can imagine that this chimney, seen among the Barcelona skyline, is a unique presence. I like how you've captured it, expressing the scale and height through a close angle in strong light.

Hello Gosia
Sorry I haven't visited your portfolio recently: I've taken a break from TE, but have returned with batteries fully charged! I like your latest posting a lot. I was in Barcelona a few years ago, but not for nearly long enough to do it photographic justice. This is a cracking image, nice and tightly composed, and the towering, eccentric Gaudi chimney is offset from the centre to "obey" the rule of thirds. Good, natural colours too.
Happy New Year.
Regards
Will

Hi Gosia
Maybe I would have flipped this one vertically? So that the triangle apex is pointing down instead of up? Anyway nice catch of unusual architecture with good sharpness & lighting. Tfs!

un camino così stravagante e bello poteva farlo solo Gaudì. Tu sei riuscita a riprenderlo in modo eccellente, il pov lo esalta contro il cielo blu, il suo colore è fantastico.

Hello Gosia,
The intertwined bubbles used in architecture couple with the name Gaudi immediately suggests Barcelona for the site. I know that his architectural style is organic, but he seemed to possess a mind like M c Escher. Very good photo and note.
Warm regards,

Witaj Gosia,
in this excellent close-up you allow us to admire the talent of Gaudí, by means of this wonderful decorative element in the roof of the Palau Güell.
Its vivid colors are outlined on the blue sky, and its organic shapes provide a fantastic graphical effect for the composition.
It is a great photo, I like.
Kind regards,
Josep

Ciao Gosia
a Barcellona di opere architettonice ce ne sono infinite e sono un paradiso per i fotografi.
Ma bisogna anche saper riprendere nella maniera più adatta il soggetto altrimenti si rischiano solo foto banali.
In questa tu hai trovato un punto di ripresa molto interessante che valorizza l'architettura e la esalta. Sei stata bravissima nel creare una composizione a trianngolo ricca di infinite sfumature di verde ed il risultato colpisce immediatamente per la vivacitàdi forme e di colori.
Una foto che è stata molto apprezzata e sicuramente resterà anche impressa a lungo perchè nel farla ci hai messo, oltre che la tecnica, anche l'anima.
Buoni tutti i parametri:nitidezza, contrasto, luminosità, saturazione e altrettanto buone, come tuo solito anche le note a corredo.
Ciao e buona giornata
Romano
