Here's a detail of some orange jelly candy in a market stall in Barcelona. You can also check these gominolas in green. Fall is already here so orange is that kind of color that gives us the mood of the season. I wish autumn comes as sweet for you as these candies. Have a nice week!

Clock Tower Detail, Sant Pau Hospital, Barcelona
Sant Pau Hospital is by far one of the most spectacular examples of Catalan Art Nouveau or what is known as Modernisme.
Plenty of posts in Barcelona Photoblog fully cover this historical place from almost every angle.
At the main entrance, you face a graceful spire, rather thin if compared with similar church architectural structures in my opinion and taking into account the considerable dimensions of its clock.
I've seen many images of the entrance and the remarkable spire but I always wondered what it would look like from a very short distance.
This is the result.

Candle Holder Wooden Toys
Yet another curious wooden figure I came across in one of those markets outside Barcelona (there are many out there which are only set during local celebrations). Here are three candle holder wooden toys in a row with selective focus on the one in the middle. Hope you like the result.
