30 years later I find out It's Name in Sunday School Class

Gaudi's Cathedral
Barcelona, Spain
Started Building in 1882 and will be done in 2026?
I took these in 1958 on 35 mm slides
Over time fading and lighting off some color also.

It has Sculptures all around and I thought it had been bombed during the war.




Arch over Street notice the design on walk, this near the Cathedral
if can remember it is on the right. It is 1958 look how wide the street is.
This site has more on Gaudi's Cathedral:

OK, Lets do the Splits

Took the base off feeder to stop the black birds, they were controlling it and keeping finches and others away. At least making them work harder.
Did not know they would spread their legs that far.


But they will do many acrobatics to get a grain.

There are quite a few Cicadas around Butt there may be one less.

Cicadas, if you look around they are on trees, flowers and leaves - drying out their wings and then singing and looking for a mate,
I can not tell a female from a male, butt I will tell you

They better not sit where I'm going to sit my BUTT taking pictures for I think this one will not be mating?

Worlds Fair of 1958 slides (44) converted to digital



The Atomium really impressed me. I looked it up on the Internet and it still is there today in Brussels look for 1958 Worlds Fair has all the info on it and such as the attendance and to how many died. Being young and not knowing where to stay.
They say it is to Brussels as the Eiffel Tower is Paris.
. Here we are camped in the woods over our night fire, where we ate Army "C" Rations.

AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE
Represents the Civil Engineering.

Some of the Pavilions charged extra to enter

Cable Cars helped getting to the other parts of the Fair, but look at those stairs in the back ground

Yep, that's me by the Crude Magnesium Bolder for Austria wealth in minerals at the Antwerp Building Center.

Remember it is 35 mm slide film at 25 speed and some of my first experience. And some of my slides have really faded - been over 53 years and had to set lens and speed of camera with a light meter but night pictures was just guessing and counting from 20 to 40.


No they are not yard decorations.

Do not know but get a look at the reflections.
