Skywatch #71: Skywatching in Barcelona

While sitting on the upper deck of a tour bus, I was both skywatching and people watching. Needless to stay I was also indulging in my passion for drive by shooting. Look what I saw.

I saw cloudy skies and beautiful architecture.

I smiled at the bustling street scene. So vibrant.
I spied some fellow tourists (?). Shooting at me? Nah, behind me was the statue of Columbus, that's what's keeping them interested.
We passed by a museum, MNAC, where we hopped off the bus and explored the surroundings.

I was entertained by artistic fixtures on the street. Lobster thermidore anyone?


And more art fixture. This one's from an American artist, whose name completely escaped me at this time.

This is my entry for this week's SKYWATCH. Please visit other players' posts here.
