When I was in Barcelona I wanted to see the architecture of Gaudi. One place I went was to the Casa Batlló and spent a good deal of time in each room and outdoor space. There were colorful and whimsical shapes throughout the house and many of them featured curves.

Funny, when I saw the theme of the challenge, I immediately thought of Gaudi. I first saw his work on a visit in 1990 – sadly the photos from that period are all faded now, but not in my head yet. But it was great to see your photos, and perfect for the curves challenge.
All the best from Brisbane, Australia.
