Lichen on An Ancient Rock

© All Rights Reserved

This lichen was growing on an ancient rock. Of course you can't tell how old the stone is but it is very old as it is part of the foundations of an Iberian town. The Iberians were living in this part of Europe long before the Romans came to "civilize" them. I will show you the ruins some time this week. For the moment, I just wanted to share the texture with you.

Sardana Player Blowing the Horn in Barri Gotic, Barcelona

After yesterday's post I was missing the upper perspective from the stairs right behind the musicians which were playing sardanas for people in the square right in front of Barcelona Cathedral in Barri Gothic. This man was playing the horn. I have found out that there are many types of horns but I just can't figure out this one.

Sardana Dancers in Front of Barcelona Cathedral

Sardana dancers in front of Barcelona cathedral. I was standing right behind the musicians that were on the stairs to the temple as usual. There were several groups, and although this is quite a common sight in the city it called my attention to see so many old people dancing and enjoying the hell out of them like babies in the winter sun.
