" Paseando en Parc Güell "

There's so much to see inside Parc Güell,
not only can you catch sunrise and sundown, the stunning views of Barcelona and the quirky designs of Gaudi.


the shadow play! that's us.

As hundreds of tourists flocked day in and out.
People watching is yet an interesting spectacle.
Here are some memorable images I've brought back from our trip.



an outdoor cafe inside the park.



random tourists young and old.



the stripe guy, long hair and his über cute dog.



stop staring! two guys and their shades.



just tired... desperately needed a power nap.



there's always a group of young kids who would persuade me to take a picture of them!
the last time was in Berlin.
i mean how could I say no?! ^0^
they seemed harmless and so eager to say cheese!
i wish i knew at least one of them so that I could send back their smiles!






well, even the smallest ones needs some chirping too.



lost in the crowd...think she was munching an apple..



err, think he's sleeping...



again, can't resist this creature.
i;m sorry, not good with dogs, so wouldn't know what breed this is.



and the last one,
would've thought that this bird was on top of this guy's head,
but look closely,
it's actually standing on one of those tiles.


i wish everyone a good week ahead!

" Parc Güell "

the colonnaded pathway inside the park is one of its signature design,
that transcends Gaudi's creativity.
But for that right timing,
where someone's head or hand wouldn't popped out of nowhere
seems almost impossible.









the view of the terrace walls.
they are actually inspired by bird's nests.




I've already shown the horizontal side of this but thought I'd share the vertical
shots as well.
^0^

the doric columns and the circular tiled ceilings on the wall.





yet another shot of the Pavillion.



and my favorite were these tiled Trencadis.
they came out so washed out blue on my camera,
thankfully,
Pepperoni had better shots. ^-^





We were hoping to see more but the sun was about to set and
catching a great angle means you have to click fast.
It was a nice and peaceful walk though,
contrary to what I've read where lots of pickpocket thieves await.



There were a few hawkers and a couple of street artists,
there was actually one, who was selling his souvenir items on the colorful
tiled seats,
If you're like me, who gets easily drawn at the view and the vast space,
you'd forget he's standing there.
I almost crashed his merchandise had it not been Pepperoni who warned me that he was there, phew! that was close.
