Slow Progress? (By whose standards?)
The connection is religious buildings. The aircraft was behind the Church of Our Lady in Bruges and the people here are observing progress at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I guess the connection was also brought to you by the letter “B”, but I don’t allow such connections for this series!
The Sagrada Familia is probably famous for its apparently very lengthy construction period, having started in the late 19th century and expected to be complete in the first third of the 21st century, and of course for the very distinctive architecture by Gaudi. The lengthy construction period fascinates people, but this isn’t a new thing. For one thing, the Church of Our Lady was built mostly in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries and cathedrals often took centuries to complete. Is there a feeling or expectation that in the modern era the construction of buildings, including religious buildings, should be quick or at least quicker than in the past? Having seen the detail involved in Gaudi’s building I think it’s understandable that things are taking a while. (By whose standards?)
As for the people in the photo, have they noticed something different from their last visit or is there something in the very busy facade that interests them? Perhaps they’re commenting on the tower crane’s crucifix-like form in what could be an appropriate position between two of the four towers. Sadly, the inability for me and the two chaps in the photo to communicate effectively in anything but our different native tongues meant that I never found out.
