or “Empty Construction” located in San Sebastian, Spain. This sculpture was done by Jorge Oteiza who died in San Sebastian (and presumably lived at least part of his life there). He was also a writer who wrote an important essay about the history and aesthetics of Basque art.
This cathedral, called Sagrada Familia, is one of the most unique churches in the world and is considered the masterwork of the Spanish artchitect Antoni Gaudi. The building was started in 1882 and Gaudi devoted the last 15 years of his life to the project (he died in 1926) but the project is still under construction. It is expected to take until 2026 for it to be finished.
During our stay at Ebnat-Kappel we were able to take a short trip to see the place where Ulrich Zwingli, the Swiss reformer, was born. This lady gave us a tour and gave us an overview of his life. They had some of his original bibles including this one which I believe dates from 1531, the year of his death.
That is what they call the mountains in the distance that overlook the Tokenburg Valley in Switzerland. This is a view of the village of Ebnat-Kappel where we stayed.
