Catholic high school in Edmonton

Taken in the morning while it was still fairly dark, this picture is of the school’s facade. The school is a Catholic high school in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.

Seven Bridges, Amsterdam

Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain

My thanks to poet and photographer, Nicole Sara, for this contribution of gorgeous autumn leaves. You can find Nicole on her beautiful blog here: https://starrysteps.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/soothing-blues-for-tankatuesday-poetry-challenge-38-visualize-your-joy-11-11-2025/

Nicole has an etsy shop where you can find her gorgeous photographic digital designs: https://www.etsy.com/shop/StarryStepsShop/

Casa Batlló is a unique building in the center of Barcelona, Spain, which was designed by Antoni Gaudi, the modernist Catalan architect and designer. When I visited Barcelona, in late August 2017, I was really impressed by the entire city, the imposing elegance of Sagrada Familia, certainly, but what I loved photographing the most was Casa Battló, due to its spectacular colorful aspect and unusual structure. The house has a beautiful mosaic façade, flowy balcony rails and a splendidly scaled roof made of ceramic tiles in various colors, with a fairy tale air about it. Sadly, the day I got there, it was overcast, and I could not take a photo of the house against a bright blue sky, but still, I was happy I was able to take these photos, one from a distance and the other from below… featuring some of its wonderfully decorated details.

    That is a great photo of Amsterdam’s Seven bridges, Robbie. Excellent perspective. I love the ripples on the water. Thanks to Nicole Sara for the beautiful photos of the autumn leaves and Casa Batlló. My gosh, just incredible architecture and a delightfully elegant mosaic facade.

    Thanks for the mention, Robbie. Much appreciated.

    I love the Casa Batlló! When I looked it up, it seems to be an art exhibit in building form?

    I did not know about the seven bridges. I’ve been at Schiphol airport but never in Amsterdam. It would be neat to see. They are great photos.

    Such lovely photos this week, Robbie, the Seven Bridges photo in Amsterdam is a wonderful click, so nice to see the bridges almost forming a watery tunnel… and elegant architecture in Suzette’s image from Alberta, perfectly captured! Thank you very much, Robbie!
