No, this is not a roof, nor the surface of Mars, it is a small square next to Maremagnum shopping center. I really like those peculiar hills you wouldn't expect to see in a park. Maybe that becomes customary in the future, who knows?

Poverty in Barcelona: Tramp at Maremagnum

Alienated, abandoned, neglected, homeless tramps. Poverty goes with society, it has been there before and it will be there in the future, it is the byproduct of human ambition. Being different and impaired is punished with ignorance and rejection for the sake of the pack. When are we going to think and act as civilized animals instead of just animals?

Dull skies may have a special attraction of their own which is hard to find sometimes I know. Winter is coming and nothing seems bright and cheerful, but you can always give nature a second chance and find beauty in black ominous clouds or rough gray sea. I have desaturated colors a little bit, but believe me the day was already dull. As a matter of fact this a view of Badalona beach in the outskirts of Barcelona as seen from Sant AdriĆ” Marina.
