Today's snapshots

Here is today's snapshot, a new series of candid photos taken with my pocket camera during the trip to Barcelona, Spain in April 2008. Full set, which is updated daily can be found on Flickr.

Just behind my hotel is the area of Barcelona known as Raval, similar in the way to Barri Gothic with many twisted, narrow streets full of shops, bakeries, cafes etc. I passed this particular intersection everyday on the way from a local corner store where I would pick up mineral water and beer. Everyday there was this guy sitting outside of his building, right across the equally old moped, watching people passing by. For some reason I really like this daily scene...

One thing that Barcelona is famous for is of course many fantastic modernist buildings by masters like Antoni Gaudi who truly left his mark all around the city. Here are a few small fragments of the his architecture. I will explore in more detail about it later on as I post a lot photographs from many of his masterpieces.
