POTD: Something Old

Not as old as some of my other posts, but this is about a hundred years old I think. This is a door on the entrance to the world's most visited construction site--La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Gaudi was for me, the primary reason to visit Barcelona and I was not disappointed. His work is amazing. Hard to capture in images, but I thought that this was cool. Thanks for all the positive feedback. It has been a major ego boost posting the last couple of days.
Just to answer your question, Lorrie, most of these churches still have regular services(not Sagrada obviously as it is not completed). In fact, in Spain they were all decked out in Easter glory--lots of silver and gold and huge bouquets of flowers--white, red and purple. It was fabulous! Thanks for looking.
