Oh, Dali. I don't know about you but when I think about Salvadore Dali, I think of a crazy man who was also an artist. We couldn't resist this day trip from Barcelona so we hopped on a train and two hours later were in Figueres and hiking to the Dali Museum.
The town is all about Dali as you can see from the light pole that reflects the picture from the ground. If you looked at the ground, it looked nothing like the perfect photo on the light pole...amazing(see photo #3). I wonder how it changes throughout the day as the sun moves the shadow.
At the museum, in the ballroom, Dali is buried. In the same room there is a colorful photo made up of many pixels but when you focus your camera on it, it turns into Abraham Lincoln. I found it kind of amusing when I tried to show a Spanish couple the trick, they just didn't get it...maybe they didn't know who Abraham Lincoln is????(see photo's #4 and #5).
There is also the Mae West room which is more famous.
The whole museum just makes you walk around going HMMMM as you try to understand what he was trying to portray or get across. Very fascinating...worth the long train ride!
