This is a winter photograph I have picked up from Barcelona Photoblog archives. It depicts a line of small dry fountains as I am walking down the stairs on my way to Plaza España from Fira de Barcelona venues. In fact, the real Montjuic fountains, those that are illuminated to the beat of the music every September 24th during La Mercè celebrations are the ones you see in the roundabout. But these modest ones always call my attention and now after so much time I notice again the non-polluted light of the winter sun illuminating that perfect diagonal that I had accidentally overlooked in my previous daily publishing. For a bird's eye view of the place why don't you take a look at this Google Earth snap.
If it looks this nice in winter, the place must be delightful now. I like the light in this photo and the lovely pastel colors.
ReplyDeletei love this photo, is there still water left on the samll fountains which gives it the color blue? will check out the aerial view from your link
ReplyDeletewould love to see that place in the summer, must be beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody. Of course the place looks better now if we think in terms of people stretching their legs and greener vegetation but in fountain terms, it is still as dry. I suppose they open the tab just on special occasions.
ReplyDeleteSuch a large fountain just staggers my imagination. I can't cope with it I guess. Wow.
