Cement Jungle

Barcelona is a cement jungle, much like New York or San Francisco.  Sure there are parks strewn about, but the majority of land is taken up by sidewalk, street, and buildings.  Yesterday we were walking near where Passeig de Colom meets the Rambla.  Tucked into the corners of the Delegación de Defensa En Cataluña building was this tree.  It is such a stark contrast between the grayness of the cement and the old dirt.  I love finding these spots of natural beauty in this city, where life is finding a way despite our best efforts.
