I been tagged by Irena and Emily. I have to answer the following 5 questions regarding photography and tag another 10 contacts.
1. What I like to photograph the most:
Whatever I see through my viewfinder… but seriously, I really don’t know, I’m still trying to find that niche which appeals to me.
2. What I like to photograph the least:
You know when someone says, can you take a picture of us… Any time a sentence starts off that way, I just don’t like to do it because it’s not composed…
I also don’t like to take a picture of a picture (e.g. artwork in a museum) unless I use it selectively with depth.
3. Photography Pet Peeves:
When people take images with tripods that could otherwise be done handheld (and I know they’re not stopped down or taking HDR images too)…
Speaking of which, anyone want to buy my tripod ;-)
4. What I admire from other photographers:
Everything they can do that I can’t!
But I admire and value their sincerity, their willingness to share and not be snobby.
5. What I'd like to learn better:
I don’t own a strobe so the first item on my list is lighting!
Also: fashion photography, creative manipulation, portraits… basically everything you don’t see on my stream.
I tag whoever wants to do this under my comments ;-)
Los pliegos de la licitación marcan tiempos distintos a los de la política.
Las primeras 5.000 lectoras de tarjetas estarán colocadas en no menos de 360 días hábiles. El proceso exige “pruebas piloto”, “un plan de proyecto definitivo” y otros pasos que retrasarán la implementación. Toda la red metropolitana se cubre con 17.000 máquinas.

El Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico (SUBE) no podrá seguir los tiempos que le impusieron la política y la necesidad de los usuarios de conseguir monedas para viajar todos los días. Los pliegos de la licitación marcan otra realidad. En una primera entrega, 5.000 lectoras de tarjetas magnéticas estarán colocadas en no menos de 360 días hábiles, es decir, en 16 meses. Y las 10.000 licitadas en este primer proceso público recién marcarán boletos a fines de 2012. El total de máquinas necesario para cubrir las 340 líneas de colectivo y las 259 estaciones de tren de Capital y el primer cordón del conurbano bonaerense asciende a 17 mil.
El pliego de condiciones particulares de la Licitación Pública Nº 4 para la provisión y mantenimiento de lectoras de tarjetas magnéticas para colectivos, subte y trenes fue adjudicado el 14 de julio a la UTE conformada por Siemens, Metronex (Grupo Roggio) e Indra.
Cuatro días después el secretario de Transporte, Juan Pablo Schiavi, intentó calmar la ansiedad de los viajantes de abandonar el pago con moneda: “La tarjeta única para el pago de boletos funcionará en todos los ramales de trenes metropolitanos dentro de un mes o un mes y medio”. El cronograma de entrega le da prioridad a los colectivos y luego a los ferrocarriles.
Al volver a la provisión de máquinas para el transporte automotor, el Anexo IV del pliego de condiciones, Nación Servicios (la unidad de negocios del Banco encargada de administrar el sistema de transporte) marca los pasos a seguir. “El adjudicatario deberá efectuar las pruebas solicitadas en un lapso no mayor a los 10 (diez) días hábiles contados a partir de su notificación”. Las tres compañías proveedoras fueron informadas por la entidad estatal de la adjudicación a mediados de julio, por lo que estiman que completarán “el período de testeo” a fines de mes, según contaron a este diario.
Además, el documento oficial les exige que el 3 de agosto presenten un “plan de proyecto definitivo”, en el que deberán detallar las condiciones técnicas, estrategias de instalación y los servicios que brindarán, una vez que se les notifique la “orden de compra”. Es decir, que la UTE conformada por Siemens, Indra y Metronex pondrá en funcionamiento el “plan piloto” una vez que reciba el primer cheque de manos de Nación Servicios. Ese proceso podría demorar otros 15 días adicionales.
En una tercera instancia, el Gobierno tendrá que “aprobar el plan de proyecto definitivo”, dentro de los siguientes 30 días hábiles, y recién después las proveedoras estarán “habilitadas para la puesta en producción de 2.000 equipos para las líneas de colectivos involucradas” dentro de los siguientes 150 días corridos.
Una vez que se coloquen esas 2.000 lectoras, con sus respectivos “68 equipos móviles de descarga de transacciones” y “100 terminales de inspección”, las compañías tendrán permiso de colocar otras 2.000 lectoras durante los siguientes 180 días hábiles.
El cronograma de entregas de las 10 mil máquinas sigue. El proceso completo podría demorar más de tres años.
En concreto, una semana antes de las elecciones se repartieron 50 mil tarjetas SUBE. Se subieron al sistema Monedero ya instalado en el subte y las líneas de colectivo 101, 50, 5, 8, 61, 62 y el ferrocarril Urquiza.
De las cinco licitaciones, cuatro ya tienen ganador oficial
El Gobierno dio varias definiciones el viernes a la noche sobre las licitaciones pendientes en el SUBE. Según pudo saber Crítica de la Argentina, Nación Servicios calificó de “no elegibles” a Indra y a Unión Transitoria de Empresas (UTE) formada por la filial local de Tallion, la estadounidense HID y la coreana EB Corp. Esos grupos compitieron en el concurso Nº 5 con otra UTE formada por Metronex (grupo Roggio) y Siemens. Por descarte, fuentes del sector comentaron a este diario que la alianza entre la alemana y el grupo que opera el subte “se quedaron con el negocio del clearing”: la puesta en marcha del sistema de back office que administrará la recaudación diaria de cada medio de transporte. La cuarta licitación (concurso para la provisión y posterior instalación de lectoras magnéticas) fue adjudicada a la UTE Siemens, Metronex y la española Indra el 10 de julio.
El resultado de la segunda y tercera licitación pasó inadvertido. Ganaron Telecom y Global Crossing. Cada una se encargará de uno de los centros de cómputos que demandarán un total de 1,08 millón de dólares.
La filial latinoamericana de Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) se quedó con la tercera licitación. El concurso, del que también participaron Transtex y Gemalto, fue para elegir al proveedor de 50 mil dispositivos de carga y descarga de tarjetas. G&D, de capitales alemanes, fue adjudicataria de la primera licitación de provisión de tarjetas. Fabricará cinco millones de plásticos inteligentes a cambio de siete millones de dólares.

Bóvedas
Igual que de entre las quimeras de un sueño,
irguiéndose sobre desconcertantes torturas,
se alza el nuevo día: asi salen los nervios
de la bóveda desde el confuso capitel.
Y dejan dentro, apretadas y enigmáticamente
enredadas, criaturas que baten las alas;
su vacilación y la brusquedad de las cabezas
y aquellas fuertes hojas cuya savia se eleva.
Como estallido de cólera, volcándose al final
en un gesto rápido, que se apelotona
y se mantiene afuera... todo corriendo hacia arriba,
lo que una y otra vez vuelve a caer con la tiniebla,
frío, trayendo, como la lluvia, preocupaciones
para mantener este antiguo crecimiento.

A 'terril' is a hill made from mining waste. There are still a lot of them in the old mining regions like Mons, now being appreciated as green areas.
I've used a ND1000 filter in order to have an 'evening effect' even if the sun was high in the sky.

Kate Ryan - Désenchantée Remix. . . Its an awesome version^^
Kate Ryan- Desénchantée or Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée
Nager dans les eaux troubles
Des lendemains
Attendre ici la fin
Flotter dans l'air trop lourd
Du presque rien
A qui tendre la main
Si je dois tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
Que dans l'indifférence
Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l'innocence
Mais rien n'a de sens, et rien ne va
Tout est chaos
A côté
Tous mes idéaux, des mots
Abimés
Je cherche une âme, qui
Pourra m'aider
Je suis d'une
Génération désenchantée,
Désenchantée...
English^^
To swim in troubled waters
for days,
To wait here for the end.
To float in air, too heavy
from almost nothing.
To whom to reach out a hand?
If I must fall from high,
May my fall be gentle.
I found rest only in indifference.
Still, I would like to find innocence again,
But nothing makes sense and nothing goes right.
All is Chaos,
On all sides,
All my ideals; the words overwhelmed,
I look for a soul who is able to help me.
I am of a disenchanted generation.
Disenchanted ...
Taken at "Dead man´s Chest" pure SL
The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don’t be sad it’s just the start
Of a new beginning in your life

El Real Monasterio de Santa María de Poblet es el prototipo de abadía cisterciense española y panteón real de los reyes de la Corona de Aragón, desde Alfonso II.
Localizado en la comarca de la Conca de Barberà, en la localidad de Vimbodí, en Tarragona, el primer cenobio fue impulsado y patrocinado por el conde Ramón Berenguer IV, quien lo entregó a los monjes bernardos de la abadía de Fontfroide en el año 1149 (siglo XII).
Enriquecido con distintas donaciones, alcanzó su máximo esplendor en el siglo XIV, y su total decadencia y abandono en 1835 como consecuencia de la desamortización de Mendizábal. En 1930 se inició su restauración, de forma que en 1935 pudo dedicarse nuevamente la iglesia al culto, y en 1940 retornaban a su abadía algunos monjes. No todos los espacios pueden visitarse, por ser dependencias en clausura utilizadas por los cistercienses que de nuevo ocupan el monasterio.
En 1991 fue declarado por la UNESCO Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Poblet, junto con Guadalupe, El Escorial, San Millán de Yuso y San Millán de Suso son los monasterios en España que gozan de este título.
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet is a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1151, located in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, in Catalonia (Spain). It was founded by Cistercian monks from France.
It was the royal pantheon of the kings of the Crown of Aragon since James I of Aragon.
This monastery was abandoned in 1835 and was restored during the 1940s.
This monastery was the first of three sister monasteries, known as the Cistercian triangle, that helped consolidate power in Catalonia in the 12th century. (The other two are Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus)
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 1991.

It was a misty morning, the rays of the rising sun flooded more and more the new day with light.
This created such a beautiful and overwhelming mood, that i wanted to capture it .
I really struggled with my camera adjustments, but under the helpful guidance of a friend this is finally the result i got - as closest to the feeling as it was possible for me.
I'm looking forward to your opinion from an emotional as well as from a technical point of view :-))
Un passo indietro ed ora tu, non ridi più
e tra le mani "Aria" stringi
e non trovi le parole
e ci riprovi ancora a muovermi il sole
Ancora un passo un altro ancora
Un passo avanti ed ora io, non parlo più
e tra le mani, mani stringo
a che servon le parole
amore dai, dai, dai muovimi il sole
Tu che aria sei
ma che aria vuoi
tu che aria dai se poi mi uccidi
tu come aria in vena sei .....

Abraham Lake is an artificial lake [...] with a surface area of 53.7 km² (20.7 sq mi) and a length of 32 km (20 mi). [...] It was built on the upper course of the North Saskatchewan River, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies [in western Alberta]. It lines David Thompson Highway between Saskatchewan River Crossing and Nordegg.
Abraham Lake was created in 1972, with the construction of the Bighorn Dam. It was named for Silas Abraham, an inhabitant of the Saskatchewan River valley in the nineteenth century.[1]
Although man-made, the lake has the blue color of other glacial lakes in the Rocky Mountains, which is caused by rock flour as in other glacial lakes.
The Cline River Heliport is located on the western shore of the lake.

Lorsque ton regard s'est caché sous la table
Et la fumée nerveuse de ma cigarette
A rempli la pièce d'une lumière bizarre,
Je sens peser les mots,
Je sens, les ondes sont troublées
{Refrain:}
Le besoin que j'ai de posséder ton regard
Tout en laissant mes yeux fermés
J'ai beau essayer, je ne sais t'oublier,
Maintenant je garde mes yeux fermés
Mais le tort de marcher trop vite fait souffler
Un vent froid et léger,
Parce que demain tout cela sera oublié
Oublié, oublié, oublié
Nous marchons sans parler, la tête baissée
Tu devines mes pensées,
Le long d'un trottoir, il fait gris,
Je sens venir la pluie

Où sommes-nous allés ?
Trop loin, trop loin {x4}

Excerpt from waterfallsofontario.com/louth-falls.php:
Louth Falls: As far as its many waterfalls go, this is probably the Niagara Peninsula’s best secret! This pretty little falls is located where 16 Mile Creek tumbles over Irondequoit Limestone of the Niagara Escarpment. Completely natural, surrounded by woods are usually deserted.
Excerpt from www.torontohiking.com/louth-falls:
There are actually two waterfalls in this CA with the larger lower Louth Falls the much more dramatic of the two. An upper Louth Falls located upstream closer to the road cascades down just under 4 m while the larger lower falls drops about 9 m. Due to a rock slide or road construction or both, the upper falls is now partly buried under huge boulders.

Malgré un emploi du temps surchargé, Thierry, Ken, Yoann et moi avons tenté notre chance pour un lever de soleil sur la plage de Montravel. C'était la première fois qu'on y allait de nuit et j'ai trouvé l'endroit plutôt joli même si c'était plutôt difficile de marcher à travers les rochers dans l'obscurité. Plage de Montravel (Rémire-Montjoly), Guyane française.
P.-S. : Je suis actuellement très occupé par divers projets professionnels, ce qui me donne pratiquement pas de temps pour flickr. Désolé, mais je rattraperai le temps perdu bientôt :). J'en profite pour vous souhaitez de passer de bonnes fêtes et une merveilleuse année 2009.

Despite an overloaded schedule, Thierry, Ken, Yoann and I, took our chance on a sunrise at the Montravel beach. This was the first time at night and the place was rather beautiful even if it was difficult to walk on the dark between the stones. Montravel's beach (Rémire-Montjoly, French Guiana).
P.-S.: I am currently very busy with various work projects, which gives me virtually no time for flickr. Sorry for this, but I'll catch-up soon :). I take this opportunity to wish you good holidays and a wonderful 2009.

Amapola - Juan Luis Guerra
The Monastery of Sant Benet de Bagés is a former Benedictine monastery, in the Catalan comarca of Bages. The Romanesque monastery was thoroughly restored at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
The monastery was founded about 950 by the noble Salla and his consort Ricarda, of the house of the viscounts of Osona . According to the founding legend, Salla traveled to Rome to have his institution authorized, and to have it depend directly on the Holy See, the usual method for preserving the community from interference from the bishop of Vic, in whose diocese it lay. The abbey church was consecrated 3 December 972, witnessed by a gathering of notables: Borrell II, Count of Barcelona, the bishops Frugifer of Vic, Guisad of Urgell and Pere of Barcelona, the viscount Guadald of Osona, and three of the four offspring of the recently deceased founder, his son Isarn and the sisters Quíxol and Ego, at the head of witnesses both laymen and priests, in a grand ceremonial recorded in the surviving act of consecration.
The community was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and to Benedict of Nursia (Sant Benét in Catalan) founder of the order, and Peter and Andrew, all guarantors of its future orthodoxy. The founder secured dispensations that the future abbots would be chosen from among their descendents, making the abbey a form of proprietary church, an agreement that would soon lead to disputes among the various branches of their lineage as to choice of abbots.
From 965, the abbey church held the supposed relics of Saint Valentine, enclosed in a wooden reliquary with plates of silver depicting miraclesa of Saint Valentine, rediscovered in 1863 in the church of Navarcles.At the beginning of the eleventh century the monastery passed under the direction of the Abbey of Saint Peter of Tomeras at Narbonne, from which the community freed itself in 1108. In 1125 Sant Benet de Bagés suffered from an attack by Moors that required a rebuilding, financed by local nobles who required in return the right to be buried in its consecrated ground.
The most splendid age of Sant Benet de Bagés was in the fourteenth century. The Black Death left the community with only two survivors, in a period that witnessed the beginning of its decline. On 9 November 1593, by order of Pope Clement VIII the community passed under the direction of the Abbey of Montserrat, and remained so until it was suppressed in 1820, serving as a place of retirement for Montserrat's community of monks. By the "law of desamortización" of 1835, all religious orders in Spain were required to render upo their possessions.The crumbling ancient structure attracted the interest of intellectuals who organised visits to it in the late nineteenth century. The architect Puig i Cadafalch and the painter Ramon Casas encouraged the mother of Casas to buy the property in 1907; in 1910 it passed into the hands of Casas, who commissioned Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. Since 2000, when it was purchased from Casas' heirs it has belonged to the Caixa de Manresa, a financial institution that has undertaken its maintenance.

Sorry flickr friends for not being around as much as i would like!
A day of frustration....
I dont normally like a photo split in half like this, but for me it just works.
Then Mother nature gave me an opportunity to take this..
Very Similar to "Portal" But it isnt often you get conditions like this here, So i am very thankful!
And yes, this is largely untouched except for a crop, sharpening and a little saturation boost, this 14mm is gold!

La cabaña de vuelta es un pequeño y sencillo habitáculo muy típico de las comarcas interiores, desde la Noguera hasta la Terra Alta, sin descartar su presencia en otros lugares de la geografía catalana, al igual que tipologías diversas de barracas de viña, por ejemplo, también se pueden dar en estos lugares. En cuanto a la cronología parece que la verdadera expansión de estas construcciones se da entre mediados del siglo XVIII y mediados del siglo XX, con una etapa de mucha mayor incidencia constructiva entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y primer cuarto del XX, vinculado al aumento de la superficie cultivada, por venta o cesión de las tierras improductivas de los señores, de la conversión de los bosques comunales o por la privatización de extensiones de terreno considerables tras la desamortización.
La iglesia de Santa María de Talamanca es un gran edificio románico del siglo XII, restaurado. Consta de una única nave, de cruz latina, con transepto rematado por un ábside semicircular, decorado con una ventana esculpida. En el exterior, el acceso al templo se realiza mediante una portada de arquivolta sencilla sobre columnas con capiteles muy trabajados que presentan decoración vegetal. Situada a los pies del castillo, aparece mentada en 1083 cuando se jura un testamento sacramental sobre el altar consagrado a Sant Pere situado en la iglesia de Santa María de Talamanca. Es en el siglo XVIII cuando la iglesia fue reformada y de una nave pasó a tener tres, aunque las naves laterales fueran más cortas que la central. Conserva el mausoleo notable del caballero Berenguer de Talamanca, construido en el siglo XIV.
I bought my first dslr in May and have been having a grand time learning about photography. I bought a yellow and an orange filter to add contrast to digital shots that I wanted to convert to black and white. I have found though that using the yellow filter and leaving the shot in color adds a very cool effect. This shot for example. Here are a few of my other favorite yellow filter shots -

I took this moments ago of one of the Ranunculus I brought home yesteday. I like to have fresh flowers around the house...Always cheery to see them.......On this dull dreary day here in Mississauga, I couldn't help but post this one too ;) I hope you enjoy it..........
"Ranunculus is a large genus of about 400 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae."
"THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
ranunculus
Native to Asia and celebrated for its medicinal properties as well as its bright beauty, the small camellia-like ranunculus ranges from white to pink, red to yellow to orange. Also known as Buttercup and Coyote’s Eyes, legend has it that the mythological Coyote was tossing his eyes up in the air and catching them when Eagle snatched them. Unable to see, Coyote created eyes from the buttercup.
In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus says, “I am dazzled by your charms.”

I was feeling really down last night, as well as this morning right from when I woke up. Things have been really tough over the past year. I was turning the possibility of sharing this with you over in my mind, over, and over, and over... I was not sure whether I had the confidence, and whether it would make any difference.
I've concluded that it does. If I don't address pain, either artistically or verbally, then nothing will change. It is at least worth a try. I think Brad said it best: Flickr is cheap ass therapy.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease right before his 60th birthday, which was this past December. He is already in stage three of seven -- very unusual for someone so young. In addition to the fact that it's a fatal disease, he will soon become someone entirely different, with not a clue who I am, or who he is, who he was, who he will be. I can see changes as the months go by, some months more than others. He was a political science professor at Columbia for most of his career, then was a dean, chief financial officer and provost there as well. His life has been built on his extraordinary intellect -- one that moved me to academia, helped incite my passion for philosophy and dreams of becoming a professor. Now he is on disability and finds himself lonely and listless most days, while everyone else is working and busy. He is rediscovering himself, and the talented parts of him that were latent all these years, but it doesn't take away from the struggle on a day-to-day basis. He has always been humble, frank, moderate, and inward, but he has shed some of his hurtful tendencies -- he is less analytic, more feeling and embracing of everything around him. All too many had accused him, say ten years ago, of being withholding and emotionally unavailable, to his wife (my stepmother) and me and my sister. He is so different now. It is, I supposed, something of a Catch-22: my father has metamorphosed into one of the most beautiful souls I've ever known, but this is all too fleeting.
But perhaps it is this transience that gives it such sweetness and value.
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me;
While my little one, my pretty one, sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west
Under the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
-- Tennyson

So if you want to meet me, see you in the Southwark Tavern, London
The beer is wonderful and they have perfect fish and chips.
This work is a HDR turned by 5 different exposures, combined with 7 layers.
6 coloured ones and one BW.
Hope you like it, like you excuse my absence tonight.
Cheers all of you
Take a beer on my bill and………….
Heard about the Lake Palace,Udaipur? Its probably one of the finest hotels in the world that has featured in many lists that rank the best hotels in the world.
Surrounded by the lake Pichola, you can only go there by a boat and if you even plan a dinner at that place, you've got to make an advanced booking. :) The hotel is currently under the Taj Group of Hotels on a 99year lease from the Maharaja.
I tried capturing its beauty for you to see. I hope you like this.
Regards

La backWaters sono costituite da 900 Km di lagune interne e canali che dalla costa penetrano verso l'interno, navigabili a bordo di imbarcazioni un tempo adibite al trasporto di riso e oggi trasformate in case galleggianti (house boats) per i turisti, dotate di ogni comfort.
Collegano via acqua diversi villaggi e città da cui partono le crociere verso le zone turistiche di Kollam e Kottapuram,
La Back waters hanno un ecosistema unico, poichè l'acqua dolce dei fiumi si mescola con l'acqua salata del Mare Arabico.
The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).
