Berliner art



While I didn't take many pictures in Berlin, this particular piece of art really struck me. Otto somebody (I remember Kitko) did this.

Berlin's Wall




Remnants of The Wall are housed in East Berlin and open to artwork. It seems these are repainted every year or two. It seems unfortunate they didn't retain any of the original graffiti yet it is.

Museum of Contemporary Art


The Barcelona MOCA had the worst collection of art I've ever seen. Seriously. It was housed, however, in one incredible building!

Barcelona















I tried to find a couple moments where the beauty overwhelmed me, and one was the view from the top of La Padrera. I love the apartment buildings and the long view to the mountains.

Barcelona




I spent the last week of my fiftieth year in Barcelona, a city I found to be uninteresting. No matter how far I traveled I was never able to leave the masses of tourists. Where is the actual city? The main highlight was La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's cathedral. It is like being in a truly alien environment. The interior is simply crazy beautiful.
