Antoni Gaudi stairway


The building is here in Barcelona and seems to be a private home, complete with an easily stealable basketball in the courtyard.

Before a couple of kids (residents of the place) told me/us that it was a private home -- theirs, apparently -- I took this photo and the light blessed me, Gaudi and the stairway: a totally visble blessing that could make everyone except the idiotically pious believe that light is a key element of prayer.

I'm not really a lover of stairways, but this one is special. If you don't see that, you may need to open your heart, your eyes or -- let's get morbid -- one of your arteries.

If you're here in Barcelona, maybe we can visit this place together. Calle de las Carolinas.
