SEATTLE, WA (September 18, 2009) \u2013 The October issue of National Geographic Traveler<\/em><\/a> magazine includes a photograph taken by Covenant project missionary Andrew E. Larsen.<\/p>\n

\"\"Larsen\u2019s photograph of the Templo de la Sagrada Familia Cathedral appears in the 50 Places of a Lifetime special issue of the magazine. The magazine published the special issue once before in 1999.<\/p>\n

Larsen serves with the Department of World Mission\u2019s Mosaics Project<\/a> and considers photography a \u201cserious hobby,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a way of keeping track of my travels.\u201d Larsen sells some of his photos<\/a>. During the Christmas season 50 percent of all sales will benefit missions in Morocco.<\/p>\n

He took the picture while living in Spain in 2006-2007 and posted it on his Flickr account<\/a>. He never submitted the photograph for publication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just had an email pop up on my Flickr account, and they were looking for photographs of Barcelona,\u201d Larsen says. They had found the photograph while doing a web search.<\/p>\n

Famed architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed began work on the cathedral\u2014considered his masterpiece\u2014in 1884. He designed the structure even as it was being constructed. He died in 1926 after being struck by a tram.<\/p>\n

The cathedral is still under construction, with other architects contributing to the design. It is not expected to be completed until at least 2026.<\/p>\n
