REsizing parks

The other day a group of us went to Parc Guell here in Barcelona, Gaudi's famous parks. It might be one of my favorite places in the city, not because of the landscape persay but the actual design of the park seems to make the area's semi-sparse landscape come to life. Somehow, in this place, I felt on the border between urban and rural life. The park's scale encompasses the visitor but because it doesn't try to ignore or block out the city instead it celebrates and frames, one has this strange deja vu of Barca. It's almost dreamlike being in Gaudi's Never never land that eludes to the urban liveliness below.
Today we went to Montserrat, an escape roughly an hour outside Barca, which was absolutely breathtaking. In contrast to Parc Guell, there's no glamorizing the city- only the pure natural scenery. Which I hate to sound cheesy here, but just for this once it might be necessary- is undenyingly spiritual. I feel like I reall only touched the surface of what this mountain really has to offer and feel like I should go back sometime; but not until I have fully appreciated the city and therefore can fully appreciate being away from it haha
As an assignment for class I'm supposed to practice resizing images, so I figure I'll post a shot I took while in Parc Guell a few days ago.
