This is a quick video clip of a random performer in the park, he was all by himself and there was no one else even near him except for me, which I think is kinda weird that he was playing anyway. Not that coming across a man dressed like the 1600s isn't weird either but hey. Also, sorry, the clip is sideways so you have to turn your head to see.
This is a mosaic fountain that you see when you first enter the park and walk up the steps leading to a stucture composed of large columns.
This is a side view of that structure. All of this was designed by Gaudi whose influence mainly came from natural forms found in plant and animal life as examples.
This is inside the structure looking up at the ceiling. The whole ceiling is coated in mosaic.
This is another house designed by Gaudi that I came across as I walked beyond the columned structure a bit. It might betough to see in the reduced size format of this picture but the orange trees out front were actually bearing fruit.
After continuing the ascending trail that wound around in a very non-linear manner we came out into this clearing. To the right is a view of the city below that lets you realize just how high up you are at this point.
And here is that view. Directly in front you can also see two other structures that were of course, also designed by Gaudi.
On my way back from the park going to my hostel I passed by these two street performers and decided to watch for a little because the music was actually fascinating and at the same time completley unexpected for I did not think that there would be performers playing music like this in the streets. By the way I took the video in the taller aspect ratio by turning my camera because I thought it'd look better but then I didn't realize that I couldn't change the rotation until later so unfortunately you have to tilt your head to the left to watch this clip.
