Barcelona

                                                                            I have enjoyed Barcelona very much.  The architecture is so varied, from the gothic to modern and post modern.  The above sketch is from the harbour front and the statue of Christopher Columbus pointing to the new world, I suppose.

The lower sketch is of an internal courtyard of the cathedral called Esglesia Catedral de la Santa Creu.   The geese are traditionally used like we westerners sometimes use a dog, as security.  When disturbed they make a racket thus alerting the nuns that someone was about.  The tour group had a look at this cathedral when we first got to Barcelona and I brought the sketch book for a second visit.  It was lovely in there.
