A Monday Mural

A very old photo, from when I was living in Barcelona. I was sometimes going up "north" , to the very south of France. I never stayed in this camping (many nice hotels in Argeles), but I really like what they did here.

City daily photo theme day: brown

Originally pink, the cathedral's stones turned brown, or even grey, over many centuries of pollution. Still beautiful though.
