"Apartment block built between 1906 and 1910 in Barcelona for the Milà family.
The façade is an impressive wave-like mass of rough-shipped stone.The windows and doors seem to be dug out of this stone mass and are trimmed in exquisitely crafted wrought iron work with vegetal forms on the balconies and astonishing grilles on the two street-doors.
On the stepped terrace, coming as an elegant surprise are the huge stair exits of sculptured spirals and faced with broken ceramics and marble. The chimneys bring to mind knights wearing visors.
All of this makes up a fantastic and futurist space. The interior marine decoration - ceilings, columns and the furniture designed by Gaudi for this house are extremely modern. The Mila apartments measured 1,323 squares meters, a really vast place.
Casa Milà was classified as World Heritage in the1984 UNESCO Catalogue.
Gaudí was born in 1852 in Reus, a small town south of Barcelona, and he died in a street accident in 1926. The intellectual context towards the end of the 19th century in Catalonia was marked by Modernisme, a movement that extended from around 1880 to the First World War, parallel to currents such as Naturalism, Arts and Crafts, and Art Nouveau. It was motivated by return to traditions as an expression of national identity, as well as by the introduction of modern techniques and materials. Modernisme differed from the other movements by becoming important for popular cultural identity. Gaudí's work represents the genius of the architect, expressing particular spatial qualities and plasticity in the undulating lines and harmonies of colours and materials in architectural surfaces and sculpted features."
Eine Aufnahme aus der späten analogen Phase des Sekretärs, als er gerade Anfing, nach Motiven Ausschau zu halten, wie er sie auch heute noch gerne erbeutet. Das Bild entstand 1997 mit einer Leica CL auf ILFORD HP5 PLUS, sehr wahrscheinlich in Karlsruhe, Deutschland.

A shot from Secretary's late analog phase, when he was just starting to look for subjects like the ones he still likes to capture today. The picture was taken in 1997 with a Leica CL on ILFORD HP5 PLUS, most likely in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Was a plant like this a source of inspiration for the forge smith? 🤔
Waiting for crumbs on the boardwalk, this one was easy to capture for a change. We have many birds in our yard, however they flit here and there and fly away so fast I can't seem to get a photo with good clarity :)
My beautiful sister Grace, modelling for me in the upstairs of Adelaide Arcade, lit by a sunbeam from the skylight above. She flew in for a family visit which happily coincided with Chinese New Year.
I need more practice with actual human subjects. The focus could be better. But the overall effect is satisfactory.
I have a penchant for rustic, rural fences. However, I thought it was high time to mix it up a bit and find a citified one I liked. And here it is: citified and sophisticated.
This is a few metres from the entrance to my home. I hadn't realized that summer was now in full bloom around the city.
Details from a fence surrounding the beautiful Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, in St. Petersburg, Russia. “The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови, Tserkovʹ Spasa na Krovi)[a] is a former Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia which currently functions as a secular museum. The structure was constructed between 1883 and 1907. It is one of Saint Petersburg's major attractions. The church was erected on the site where political nihilists assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The church was funded by the Romanov imperial family in honor of Alexander II, and the suffix "on [Spilled] Blood" refers to his assassination.”
Actually the day had only begun...while waiting for a bus to take us to Florence early one morning.....I found the lamppost appealing and with the addition of texture, I like it even more.
EXPLORE #382 of 18 March 2009
Please note that a red-haired woman has snuck into the garden with a lot of gear. It's the first time I've ever seen anyone do that. Most people respect the closed gates.
DeKalb Avenue, the Greenwich Village of Brooklyn, with a very 19th century feel, and a photographer's delight.
Now here's a place for a photowalk. Love to have some of you guys join me!
