-Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 89
Every Thursday, I publish a post containing photos taken from above or below, and invite you to join in the challenge by posting your own images with an up or down perspective.
************************************************************************************

Today, I had planned to bring you some night views of Barcelona from the roof of La Pedrera. I had booked myself on a night tour before I left home this morning and although I knew the weather had been decidedly damp yesterday, my forecast said only a 3% chance of rain for the afternoon and evening. I turned up just before the allotted time, as per the ticket instructions, and had the luxury of waiting in the entrance area for a while, admiring the flower-decorated walls and ceiling and gazing at the midnight blue sky.
To cut a long story short, the tour was fascinating (and I really will tell you more about it another time) but by the time we got to the roof it was raining. It got steadily heavier and heavier until it was a torrent and we were all promptly escorted off the roof and bundled into the lift, before we drowned.
As a result, 1) I will show you the early evening, dry, looking up shots, not the planned looking down ones, and 2) I am late posting because I had to seek shelter in a bar until the floods subsided!

Maravilloso Debbie, tengo pendiente desde hace mucho subir a la terraza y aún no lo he hecho, pero la obra de Gaudí me parece tan fascinante.
Un abrazo.

I don’t often do the sights when I come to Barcelona, but I do love La Pedrera’s roof. More photos to come soon! Debbie x

He is so off the chart – every time I see something of his work, I start laughing! Do you know if he did all the painting himself too?

I don’t know! I would think not but I may be wrong. I want to do the night tour again some time, without the rain. I will ask!

It wasn’t the most popular of his buildings, but I love the interior and the roof. The front is not as cute as the prettier Casa Batllo
