July 25: walk from Palau Nacional

On the way back from the Palau, I took a slightly different route down Montjuïc and then retraced my approach through Poble-sec and Sant Antoni.

3007

On retreat, the reverse one-point perspective.

3008

Suddenly a darkness fell across the land. Either that or I wildly underexposed this shot.

3012

A spirey silhouette.

3017

I wonder how many thousands of buildings are in this view.

3018

Palau pidge.

3020

This completely looks like someone with voluminous windblown hair and a scarf.

3023

The monitors of the Fundació Miró emerge from the jungle.

3025

Along the twisting Passeig de Santa Madrona is the Museu Etnològic, designed by Antoni Lozoya, Bonaventura Bassegoda Nonell, Joan Puigdengolas and Jesús López, and built in 1973. I love the bas-reliefs over the entrance here.

3026

The Etnològic is planned, curiously enough, on a hexagonal module.

3030

Hidden just downhill in the vicinity of the Museu d'Arqueologia is a network of lovely secluded paths.

3038

Somebirdy left its iridescent feather behind.

3039

Framed Tibidabo along Carrer de Lleida.

3040

Teatre Lliure in the lengthening sun.

3042

A warm palette.

3044

The hulking former Palau dels Esports de Barcelona, now the Teatre Musical.

3047

Back down under the weird diagonal housing block.

3048

Here IT is. IT is set back from Carrer de la França Xica. But what is IT?

3049

Stay out of the parasol zone. Don't cross the line! (This is at the start of Ricart by França Xica.)

3050

Nicely crafted little vents at the end of the parasol zone.

3053

Further down Ricart near El Paral·lel, a glass pixelfont! ESCLAT means "outburst" or "explosion." Hmmmm.

3056

Pyramid bricks at Paral·lel and Manso. These cover the full height of this 10-story building.

3060

A typical sidewalk pattern, further along Manso.

3063

At the Mercat de Sant Antoni (at far left) and the boundary of El Raval, formed by the Ronda de Sant Antoni straight ahead.

3069

Bisbe Laguarda looking dim in the late afternoon light.

3070

After sunset, a marvelous soft glow from the back balcony.
