July 26: walk from Castell de Montjuïc – Mirador de l'Alcalde

There was no question that I would stop by the Mirador again on the way down from the Castell.

3498

A radiance of bottles.

3499

Circles upon circles.

3500

The waterfall-pool and the Torre Agbar way beyond.

3501

Cool, it looks like both the bottoms and tops of bottles were embedded.

3506

Pidge before an azure Tanguyan unworld.

3513

Place is Closed. Can't you... See

3517

Then I wrote the first and only nature journal entry for the Barcelona session, the first one since Zernez. In the middle of the writing, I lay down on the bench and straight up took a nap. It was great.

3522

The journaling bench, nice and solid.

3525

Up at the summit, you can just see the masts of the Castell tower. What are these weird trees anyway? They look like giant asparagus with epidendritic tufts of moss. I'm lovin' it.

3526

A blaze of bottles.

3527

A promontory with a particularly choice view of the eastern port.

3529

City zenview down the steps.

3533

A stepped succession of glyphs.

3534

These palm silhouettes are odd. Sort of... buckety.

3535

"Hey girl!" "Give it a rest. I'm busy."

3538

The figure in the foreground has a bit of a Holy Spirit vibe. Or a butterfly vibe.

3539

Nature and civilization.

3543

Lengthening shadows.

3544

Low sun on an assortment of circles.
