I went to Barcelona for business but took some time to be a tourist with my wife beforehand. I’ll post pages with pics as I get to it, and all will be linked through this post. Day 1 – Roman Ruins Day 2 – Sagrada Familia Exterior Day 2 – Sagrada Familia Interior Day 3…
After the vacation part of the trip was over, my wife flew home, and I participated in the big trade show. These pictures are just various ones I took over those days. The one above is a random street picture I took just because of how interesting the buildings are. Coming from a rural area,…
Casa Mila is an apartment building designed by Gaudi for the Mila family and built between 1906 and 1912. It is commonly known as La Pedrera because of its resemblance to a stone quarry. As usual with Gaudi’s work, there are few straight lines and the curves are inspired by nature. Within the building are…
After our visit to Park Guell, we went to the Arc de Triomf, built in 1888. You can see the 4 posts in front of it are topped with dragons, just the start of the dragon themes in the area. The 3rd pic is the road leading to the monument. The then walked along the…

The interior of Sagrada Familia is as impressive as the exterior! It is enormously tall with lots of light from the extensive stained glass. The design of the interior is based on a forest of trees. You can see how the columns split into branches that support the very tall roof. The stained glass on…
The Basilica of Sagrada Familia is one of the most iconic landmarks in Barcelona. We had tickets for a guided tour and the trip up the Nativity tower for the morning of our second day in Barcelona. We’d seen pictures, of course, but nothing prepares you for the real view as we emerged from the…
We arrived in Barcelona in the morning, got to our hotel, then, after a quick nap, set out to explore. Our hotel was in a fantastic location, half a block to Placa de Catalunya, often called the center of town. We walked La Rambla, a huge street from the plaza to the harbor. Because of…
Artificial Intelligence is pretty fun stuff, but the promises of it being a time saver aren’t always true. I typically use Microsoft’s Copilot and before that Bing’s version of ChatGPT (though I admit to owning a Rabbit R1, which is cute but not as useful as I’d hoped). I’ve asked Copilot for help with programming…
Video walls come in various shapes and sizes for many different uses. From Control Rooms to Collaboration Rooms and from Education to Digital Signage, video walls show information at a large scale to convey important data and help solve problems or, in the case of digital signage, influence people. Small video walls can be driven…
