Romantic balcony by Helen Betts


29-JUN-2013

As Chris mentioned, the detail is reminiscent of work designed by Joan Rubiò i Bellver at Colònia Güell.

The balcony is from this building:

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/125s f/5.6 at 50.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

A perfect Juliet balcony - such interesting mosaic work - the details on so much of his work appear to be so work intensive V

Unbelievable work. Gaudi was certainly a creative genius. I wish there were more like him today. V

I Googled the origin of "gaudy" and came up with references to it:http://ask.metafilter.com/126891/Does-the-word-gaudy-come-from-the-artist-Gaudi

Isabel Cutler		26-Jul-2013 12:56
Could this be where the word "gaudy" came from? :-)

great detail shot-shows how much of the ornamentation goes together

I like the detailed shot. I heard that when Gaudi died, he was not recognised as the innovator that we recognise now. What a shame! V.
