The Cyclists

I passed by this pair of cyclists on Calle Petritxol in the Gothic.  I waved, but in their hurry, they could not be bothered.  Wonder if they're heading off to work on this fine morning.
 

Santa Maria del Mar

Santa Maria del Mar cathedral is, by far, one of my favorite things to visit in Barcelona.  I walk by it almost every day and walk through it every couple weeks and just try to take in the grandeur of it.  It is simple and unadorned (comparatively) and massive.  Depending on the time of day, it can be a wonderful place to sit and relax, whether inside or out.  These pictures were taken around 8 AM when no one is around.

Street Art Pt 2

I love seeing really large graffiti on buildings.  Sometimes it doesn't really mean anything (that I can figure out), but I am impressed by the sheer effort it took to get it done.

Walking through the Gothic near the Rambla and the Ancient Roman cemetery we saw this building completely covered in art.  It is likely an anarchist squatted building, or was until the government sealed the entrance.  

A typical scene on the Rambla, but someone has painted "IDIOT" on the very top of the building, only visible through these trees.

This building is one of the ugliest I've seen in Barcelona, probably built in the 70's and has no character.  This is on the garage door to the building.

This is the left side of a pit.  A whole building was removed and this is what remains.  You can see the wall broken on the far left.  It's been sitting like this for as long as I can remember.
