barcelona stuff that's "fit to print" ... in no particular order

in the gaudi museum at casa mila / la pedrera

my zero-calorie drink of choice

the new truck ! a set of blue flashing lights on the top would see me easing safely through the rush hour traffic ...

botero's tom cat in rambla del raval

in many ways it is monumental and fun, and it offers the photographer interesting perspectives ... but as art, it refuses or fails to capture any of the essence and grace of a living animal, and thus, on a rare occasion, fails to express botero's humanity ... as art it falls in to the abyss of truly monumental mediocrity

thank goodness snow white has already prepared their supper ...

hurrah for the huge fold-out menu at cafe velodromo in muntaner

currently unoccupied and in urgent need of modernization ... a nice little furnished flat in the passeig de gracia ...

return to casa mila, where all this ...

... is held up with this !

a charming domestic scene

donna and tony in guadix

quote of the week ... the loved one observed that i'd been anis-thetizing my taste buds

par avion ... see you in a week

paternal wisdom

i've spent wildly on literature this week and, when my book arrived, was unexpectedly reminded of a conversation with my father when he had been retired from work a little while

i asked why he kept a large coil of rope near his bed

"in case of fire"

a holiday is imminent ... how should i dress in barcelona ?

a bit of local colour
