@xjennajennax Thank you :)

Why is he dead, i wanted that he could see how beautifull Sagrada the Famillia is!

[thegasworks]

@fletch2fail Well it's very sad that he died while trying to get a good view and was knocked down by a tram. How strange is that??

[TocTeam]

MAGNIFIQUE ! *****

@TocTeam Thank you! :)

Hs work is so bold, unique and uplifting, it's hard to believe it's real. Thank Heavens for creativity.

[thegasworks]

Indeed!! Some of it makes the ginger bread house in the Hansel and Gretel story spring to mind.

[SuzzCC]

Thank you for sharing this unique and wonderful artwork. I will certainly make a point to see this if I make it to Spain in my lifetime.

Loved the choice of music too!!

[thegasworks]

Thank you. If you make it to Barcelona, Gaudi is all around you. It's wonderful.

[liketheleaf]

Thanks for sharing Frances! I appreciated! Must go there some day (mind you I drove a few kilometers past Bacelona on sunday but had no time to stop) Do you know Salamanca? another marvel...

[thegasworks]

It's a pity you didn't have time to pay a visit Francine.

I've never seen Salamanca but it's on my list. Where do you fly into to get to it? Portugal?

[adkeytube]

superb !

[thegasworks]

Thank you!

[mymindourdream]

my love for your Bowie's vids made me seen this video too fastly and superficially,it's really a great video !!!...A Frances video,simply..5/5 !!!!

[thegasworks]

THanks Paolo. As always, you're too kind! x

[hilapat12]

Very nice....your videos are so relaxing! I think that is what is needed during the fast paced short summer months!

[thegasworks]

Thanks Hilary! I don't think you could call She Shook Me Cold relaxing though! lol I try to evoke a feeling of serenity when I put photos of places to music, probably because that was the mood when I took the photos!

[Mepamper]

I can see why it would have been featured F!  It is very good and a travel & events vid. If fact I am glad you pointed it out to me. I don't think I even saw it. I guess I have to look at your other ones! :) How did you know it was featured by the way??

[thegasworks]

Thanks Mep. Someone wrote and told me. I wouldn't have realised otherwise. It depends on when you meet someone on youtube, you tend to look at their videos from that point on. I know I haven't seen all of yours and I try to look in on the older videos but sometimes people are so prolific that it's all I can do to keep up with the latest!! lol Put a search in for your name and it should come up with any you've had featured, or so I'm told - might be pleasantly surprised eh? xx

Fantastico Gaudi

Very Nice

I Love Barcelona

[thegasworks]

Me too but mainly because of Gaudi!!

[Mepamper]

This is a dandy vid Frances.. I missed it too.. so kudos go to Kat for having it in her favorites!

[thegasworks]

Thanks Margo, glad you liked it.

[redjaguar2]

This was so lovely! How did I miss this little Gem. To me the works of Gaudi reflect some sort Celestial playpen they are divine and childlike at the same moment. I hope to see them in person some day.

XXOO

[thegasworks]

Thanks. I love Gaudi and Barcelona is made even more wonderful because of him! I have lots of photos of Madrid and Venice too which I keep meaning to do something with. So many European cities have wonderful architecture. I hope you see them too! xx

[spotswoodthenewt]

Thoroughly enjoyed this respectful montage of the great Gaudi's Barcelona. Sweet use of the music too, enhanced the whole piece. Kudos!

[thegasworks]

Thanks Tim, I was like a kid in a sweet shop in Barcelona - so many beautiful things to see and not enough time! Frances

So very nice! *****

[thegasworks]

Thanks Tom, glad you liked it. Some nice glass eh?

[tps607]

yes...you know my weakness! lol

[thegasworks]

Thank you.

[thegasworks]

No....I don't think it was him driving!!!

[thegasworks]

Yes he was standing back to get a better view of La Sagrada and was hit by a tram. Sixty two years later, the plans for a high speed rail system in Barcelona are threatening the foundations of his most famous works. Ironic!!

[thegasworks]

The music is Dawn, composed as a theme for Pride & Prejudice. Dario Marianelli has been around a while.

[thegasworks]

Thanks. No she's not mine, it was just an opportunistic shot. Actually it reminded me of a film, shot in Venice called Don't Look Now, which terrified me!!
