Now this, dudes and dudettes (dudesses?) is the ayuntamento, the city hall in Barcelona. Right, you've been there, you know it doesn't look like this. Well, it does, every summer evening, when they do a light show.

MONTHLY THEME DAY!

A brief respite

The heat abated a little today, thanks to a mild northerly breeze. Back to the oven this weekend...

Circonvolution

An intricate (and unfortunately closed) staircase inside a catholic student home, a sheer marvel.

Canicule

Canicule, french for heat wave. Come from the latin, small female dog, something to do with the Big Dog, aka Sirius, the star, supposed to provoke it.
Anyway, at 7.45 ¨M, it's still 35 degrees, 95 F. Stay cool, find  shady courtyard, drink lots.
Bad news. it's getting even hotter. This is the hottest June since 1947, or so they say.

A weekend reflection

Une of the tourist boats on the Ill river (no, the Rhine river does not flow in the city center!!!). Go for it, it's a nice trip!

Electric

Another piece by local artist Dan23. It's some kind of electric box. You'd be hard pressed to find an unpainted one in town, lol.
The weekend is black and white of course!

Postcard

Probably the most photographed place in town, in the Petite France. Picture available as postcard in many many shops.
Well, not this one! This one is mine: :-)

Tricolore

Blue sky, white clouds, red house... And the american flag (friend or foe???) on the Aviator's pub. Just before the rain, this morning.
