Barcelona's La Sagrada Familia Current Look

I have visited Sagrada Familia twice (2002 and 2008), and both times I saw many scaffolding and crane working on its construction. According to the information displayed, Sagrada Familia is supposed to be completed by 2026, which is 14 years from now.

Just wonder how it looks like today, after it has undergone construction for such a long time. They started building it in 1883, and some of the parts are already 129 year old now.

Below are some of the comparison pictures back in 2008 and latest ones from www.sagradafamilia.cat.

Don't forget to look out for the inverted tree structure, and try to understand how Gaudi came up with this method of calculation for his design. You will see what he imagined when you look at the mirror below this structure.
