The Triumph Arch or Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona, Spain

The Triumph Arch or Arc de Triomphe in Barcelona, Spain

This is another picture of the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona. As you noticed I have been enjoying a long deserved holidays but from this post on I have prepared a series of images in a row to compensate for all the sloth in the past. I suggest you check my previous post about Arc de Triomphe.

Chocolate Fountain in Barcelona Chocolate Trade Show

Chocolate Fountain in Barcelona Chocolate Trade Show [enlarge]

This chocolate fountain or whatever the technical word is, I shot during the Chocolate trade show celebrated in Barcelona not long ago. When I see this I can't help thinking of Hamsel and Grettel story about a house of marsipan, chocolate and sweets of many a kind. Besides that reminiscence I also think of lyrics, and this is weird, like in the Lucy in the Sky song, when it says, "with tangerine trees and marmalade skies". You can call me paranoic! Hey, Merry Christmas everybody.

My Christmas Picture of a Holy Scene in Barcelona, Spain

My Christmas Picture of a Holy Scene in Barcelona, Spain [enlarge]

This could be my Christmas picture of the season, although some similar ones appeared in Barcelona Photoblog recently. Holy scenes captured in Pedralbes monastery that look more beautiful perhaps than the traditional miniature representations of Jesus in Bethlem that you can find on the streets these days. I mean, they look more solemn and inspiring but of course you may have your own opinion about this musing of mine.
