So much character here...

Sir Peter, You are phenomenal!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you...

Thank YOU Muse & Julie!

Stay tuned for more pix from Barcelona...

I went up here in 1996. This is where I discovered just how scared of heights I actually am. I paid to go up the elevator only to get up to the top and find I couldn't bring myself to look out at the view - the wind blowing through the towers is what did it (I've been up the Centrepoint tower in Sydney and felt quite secure behind the glass.) I practically had to crawl down the stairs to get back down!

Peter said:

No, thank you. Stop it!

Ps~ I will say my 's tonight...

Barcelona pictures, Barcelona pictures... Peter's Barcelona pictures...

Please.

This place looks freaky, Byron. I've never heard of it before. Is it a large structure?

It’s located near one of the more dangerous areas of Los Angeles...The man who created it (Simon Rodia) immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900's, I believe. He build the entire structure on his property, took something like 30-40 years to complete. You should see the place, there are so many “discarded” things embedded within it’s concrete and wires...it’s beautiful.

I think the L.A. Cultural Affairs department took over the maintenance of it after Simon died...there’s an arts center located on site now..they have famous artists showings there, and have a jazz festival every summer. I taught graphic design and photography to inner city kids there for three years...an amazing experience.

Lovely pictures Peter, takes me back to the most wonderful memories I have from Barcelona..... 2 u,and ..thankyou








p.s do you have any more...

This time the elevators were out of order. The good thing was that not many tourists walked up to the top. The corridor was so small that I had to take off my rucksack to turn around! Don't go there if you are claustrophic...

The view is nice, however...

Thanks, damnedifido

More to come... for sure!

One of my favorite buildings ever But I still haven't had the change to go see it
I also love the song from T.A.P.P. about it

charlottegelin said:

I feel you. I am not afraid of height, but I don't feel comfortable either. As the elevator was out of order I went up the stairs, but just to the first platform and then I decided to just have a quick look around and to return back down to safe earth
