Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places we visited there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious.
When I was planning my U post I thought I'd share some photos of a few unique buildings and some upclose images from other buildings. Then yesterday I realised that I hadn't indexed the photos from one amazing and definitely unique church we visited in 2012. I was captivated by this building and captured many images
That Church is the
Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. Here are some of my snaps.

I couldn't find a spot where I could take a photo of the whole building
so I snapped an image of an information board.
The Basilica should look like this by 2030

 |
| This was the best I could manage for an exterior shot |
 |
| There were crowds both outside and in |
 |
| There are many features on both the exterior and interior. |
 |
| Another coloured feature on the exterior. Most are natural stone carvings |
 |
| Some of the embellishments are rather spooky |
 |
| Moving inside - a colourful plaque for Matthew |
 |
| and a plaque for Mark |
 |
Stairs behind locked gate?
|
 |
| Back outside (I think) |
 |
| Another Crucifex |
 |
| Baby Jesus? |
 |
| There are multiple entry points |
 |
| The pond opposite the building provides opportunities for reflection |
