Witch-Scarers!


More ideas I have been noodling over from the Spanish trip... These are all photos from the roof of Casa Mila in Barcelona (also called "La Pedrera", the Rock Quarry). All the Brancussi like sculpture shapes are air dcuts and chimneys. The whole space is like a playground by Yves Tanguy! My guidebook says that these structures are called espanta-bruixes (meaning "witch scarers") by the locals. No wonder I got vertigo up there...
