El Gat

Fernando Botero's cat, el gat in Catalan, a famous landmark of Barcelona since 1987. Situated in the Rambla del Raval since 2003, after a few years of wandering through the town.

August CDP theme day: garden

My favorite type of gardens... No maintenance or TLC needed... Everything I plant dies, except cacti. This is the huge cactus garden on Montjuic hill in Barcelona.

CDP July theme day: climate

Well ok, this is an Imoca 60, a very nice way to go around... the world, if you have the time (and the money) for it. Or a sponsor.

Why this photo??? There is an engine on board, but it is mainly wind powered. There are more and more wind powered cargo ships, some of them gigantic, like the Japanese MOL, the French Canopée, the Swedish Oceanbird, an American whose name I forgot, to quote just a few. There are solar powered ships as well. Wind- and solar power are the future, furthermore as there is no planet B.

Playa

Another old photo from my ears in sunny Barcelona. I used a free program called Luminance HDR.

Finding the right spot

Always a tough decision, finding the right spot on the beach... Not too far from the water, but close to the beach bar, no bugs, not too crowded... It's a science! As for me, I LOVE desert beaches, where the next neighbor is a vague silhouette at the horizon.

Anyway, click here for more black and white.
