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.
