Lost in colours...

 "....Paint your palette blue and grey...
look out on a summer's day
 with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
....Swirling clouds in violet haze...
 reflects in Vincent's eyes of China blue
.....colours changing hue...."


Walking around the streets of Barcelona......just taking pictures of  colourful details of the town's walls, people,  corners, life!

Barcelona/Babylon....summer time at Barceloneta!

June 2014. I had a chance to spend 10 days in Barcelona with my daughter and son.....I usually come alone, but I must say we really had a good time together! Barcelona in full summer is very enjoyable, the beach is only 10 minutes walking from the center and it's very nice to have the chance, any minute, to just reach it for taking a bit of sunshine, or take a swim, or go skating, or byking, of relax at one of its several chiringuitos and have something to eat or drink, meet new people....taking pictures! 









Time for a fresh drink!





The tattooed lady





Me! (part of!)





The tower Cubes!





This was early morning, before the crowd !!





Kris and Marina (on the rigth), it was so nice this time to have them with me!





Just loved the boy's tee-shirt with the titles of the Beatles' songs!





What to eat?






 From one of the numerous "chiringuitos" on the beach










Just in front of the beach

Cloudy morning waking towards the Olympic port
