  saw that cathedral in barcelona back in 1975, there was talk then of actually finishing it off in the way that gaudi would have wanted it.

  A couple of pics here inside the Barcelona cathedral from 2008, it's spectacular.

  Great pictures Ray. I can imagine that the young Antoni spent the long summer days flat on his back looking at the sky through the flowering tops of weeds and ferns. That is what these columns remind me of.
  Incidentally he too is known as Gods Architect, as Pugin is.
  This just leaves the Dome and a few other things for the other 'entity' to claim.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Great Scotchie!
  
  I intend to go to the next open day. I've never been but was prompted by the BBC documentary last month. Amusingly the show was on at the same time as a program about president PUTIN which really amused me.
  
  As for Sagrada Familia, they're still at it! They keep putting the date back, but what a structure! Building in a way and on a scale we just don't see anymore. Good pictures!

  DTI - we visited the wonderful Castel Coch of William Burgess, in Wales some years ago, wonderful ! http://www.urban75.org/photos/wales/coch.html
  
  I remember seeing the bit about the Wm Burgess brooch on Antiques Roadshow - it had come to light after being lost for years -

  Ray - thanks for those wonderful pictures - we were not able to go inside as we didn't have time, it is breath taking.
