August 23: Barcelona part 3

First glimpse of the other Gaudi building we went to--an apartment building. It wasn't as colourful as the first building, but it housed a museum on Gaudi's life that was very informative:Krista under an ornate lamp post in front of the building:

Carlos and Krista:A view of the "attic" of the building-the amount of brick arches made it feel like I was inside a whale or something:
A model of the attic, showing all the arches:

On the roof, Krista and others:
There were two of these wells extending the height of the building; they let a whole lot of natural light into each apartment--ingenious. I wish buildings today were like this.
Close up of Krista and the statues:
So simple, yet so different:
