July 26: walk from Castell de Montjuïc – through Poble Sec
Then back down the rest of the way through Montjuïc and back into the city.
3550
A secluded garden lamp over oleanders in the Jardins de Joan Brossa.
3553
A whole locust's worth of locust blossoms.
3556
Some nice contemporary design touches along the Calletera Antiga de Montjuïc.
3558
One more Miradoresque texture on the Calletera Antiga: imprints of rebar or similar metal rods in concrete, for improved traction.
3563
Back at the Miramar circle.
3566
Approaching golden hour over the city.
3568
Sea slices from the Passeig Miramar.
3574
A view on slant across the city, with the Sagrada Família on the skyline.
3578
Nicely sculpted steps at the base of Carrer de la Font-Trobada.
3581
Hey it's Mr. Friendly again!
3582
A look back up to the Piscina Municipal along Carrer Roser.
3585
A pocket park or square, along Carrer Blai between Carrer de Tapioles and Carrer de Margarit.
3591
An unusual occurrence: a contemporary building within the Eixample. This is on Carrer del Comte Borrell between Carrer del Marquès de Campo Sagrado and Carrer del Parlament. I like the material palette.
3594
Whoa, a sunsplosion! This is the western corner of Parlament and Borrell, and the effect is only possible because the chamfered part of the block (the part facing the intersection) is so much lower than normal.
3598
Chiaroscuro at the Mercat...
3600
...and along Ronda de Sant Pau.
3601
The sky made quite a gradient as I infiltrated back into El Raval.
3603
Almost home: late sun on the Parròquia.
3604
Late light in the stairwell.
3608
After dark, the waxing crescent moon low in the west from the back window.
3614
Once again, comfortingly, the Palau was radiating.
