The BasÃlica de la Sagrada FamÃlia (Catalan: [bəˈzilikÉ™ ðə lÉ™ səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiljÉ™]; Spanish: BasÃlica de la Sagrada Familia; ('Basilica of the Holy Family')), also known as the Sagrada FamÃlia, is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudà (1852–1926), his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica.
On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada FamÃlia began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudà took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudà devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.
Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada FamÃlia's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying GaudÃ's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerised numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolising an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It is anticipated that the building can be completed by 2026, the centenary of GaudÃ's death.
The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's cathedral, over GaudÃ's design itself, over the possibility that work after GaudÃ's death disregarded his design, and the 2007 proposal to build a tunnel of Spain's high-speed rail link to France which could disturb its stability. Describing the Sagrada FamÃlia, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art",[13] and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages".[14] The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia.

The salt-run back by the lighthouse was lake-smooth and flat
as a pancake. The man's wife (and the boy's mother) was on
her own-paddleboard about twenty-five feet behind-them
and she was doing a nice-job of keeping-up with them! LOL
A family that paddles together... Was cute. Thanks for looking.
*[Paddle Faster, Dad! Keep Up, Mom! LOL]

*[The first time I saw a paddle-boarder out on the water about twenty years ago, I thought I was seeing things!?! I thought to
myself, "What a great idea!!" Now, you see them everywhere,
all over the world. Sometimes it's the simple things/ideas that
catch-on and make-it-big! Thank you very much for looking]
Conjunction above the Missisquoi valley. Fog had settle at the bottom of the valley as the very first light of day began to appear. Four frame panorama with K-30 and smc Pentax-M 28 f/2.8. Each frame is 60 s exposure iso 400. Tracked with Pentax astrotracer. No fixed foreground shot. The light was changing too fast.

Charging through the Michigan farmland at track speed, a pair of Lima-built, 2-8-4 "Berkshire" Locomotives take a long, fast freight southeast toward the City of Detroit, just over 100 miles down the line.
This image was captured during an August 2009, Lerro Photography photo shoot on the Great Lakes Central Railroad, which featured the only two "Berks" that were operable at the time, those being Pere Marquette #1225, owned by the Steam Railroading Institute of Owosso, MI and Nickel Plate Road #765, owned by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society of Fort Wayne, IN. The pair are pictured eastbound with 31 freight cars in tow, passing a farm off North Upton Road in the town of Elsie, MI.
The puffins on Skomer are bringing in sand eels to feed their pufflings. they dont hang around as the gulls are waiting for a free meal.
The immediate post Conrail split years were busy times in Cumberland, MD. In this scene at Mexico tower, an eastbound manifest departs the yard behind patched C40-8 7490, while an AC6000 led westbound, likely a Q137 or Q217, waits at the signal on #1 track. Light power that came in on an eastbound manifest is on the PPG lead and staying out of everyone's way while another eastbound is waiting on #2 main west of the plant that will follow east on 7490's block.
Bit of a tricky one this. Every time lorries pass under the bridge, the bridge wobbles so timing is crucial. Lots of heavy floodlights too causing over exposures to the shot.
Recently, I was fortunate enough to get a showing of a private collection of phenomenal proportions, which included several cars, motorcycles, toys, and Americana. This is but one of the displays of Ford "muscle cars" as they've evolved.
I really did not expect to obtain result like this. The wind was strong and clouds were moving fast, its only 30sec exposure.
222004 departs from Leicester with the 1C59 14.00 Sheffield to St Pancras International service.
I hadn't intended taking a shot here, but the young girl swinging her feet presented an opportunity so I quickly wound the shutter speed down to get this.
