  An interesting teaser. I would say Barcelona is Guadi, he defines the city.

What a visually compelling image! I simply can’t stop staring at this one. The stained glass flowers in the foreground keep drawing my eye back into the shot.
Bravo!

  Yes, plenty to do around the house and in the garden and we live close to the countryside so we can get out for exercise.
  Hope all is well with you too!

    We are not allowed out of the house as over 70, but like you there is so much to do in the house and garden, and then there is a lot besides, never bored for a moment 🙂
