Antoni Gaudi's Barcelona

My primary reason for jetting off to Barcelona was to see the architecture of Antoni Gaudi. He was a creative genius unlike any other, the purest definition of an iconoclast. I'm a fan. The forms he made 100 years ago are popping up in the most edgy of today's architecture, albeit with the aid of supercomputers--not sacks of sand and cables. Check him out:

It is very hard to capture the full effect of a Gaudi building in a photograph, but here's a pic anyway--Casa Batllo.
