Human Statues in La Rambla de Barcelona: Biker

Human Statues in La Rambla de Barcelona really have an astonishing imagination. How do you dig a bearded man in a thick suit looking like Uncle Sam or ZZ Top, escorted by two skinny companions (two skeletons) that pedal along with him in unison?. 

A lot has been said in Barcelona Photoblog about street artists, statues in La Rambla de Barcelona and their predominant role in broadcasting a good image of the city. I suggest you use the Google label below to search for more. Of course you can always visit my Street Artists photoset at Flickr. Better than that? Come to Barcelona for Easter and watch them live!

Almond Tree Flowers for Easter Holidays

© All Rights Reserved

Easter is here and many are already on holidays. Anybody there? Not my case. I keep on posting flowers in my stubborn crusade against best blogging practices, not to repeat topic. The almond tree, Prunus dulcis, grows flowers in the early spring right before the leaves. Talking about sunny skies and beautiful flowers is sort of science fiction gibberish right now. It is raining cats and dogs tonight in Barcelona but they say the weather will give us a break by Friday. Many towns in Spain will take their holy images for a walk in procession and everybody is crossing their fingers. Catholics, atheists and believers of all credes meditate, pray, disconnect from the real world or celebrate the old Roman way, you know. I am planning to open a florist shop to send you flowers online, I accept credit cards. Just kidding. I wish you all a happy Easter.
PS: I heard about Tsunami killer wave in Solomon Islands. My condolescences to the victims. I hope no one there in Asia gets hurt or affected.

Purple Spring Flowers in Barcelona

No, I am not a florist, I don't send flower bouquets by UPS nor did I become a garden enthusiast over the weekend. It is just that spring is coming and I have a strong addiction to beauty in nature. 

I apologize for not posting enough Barcelona related posts but the time comes when you don't take those long walks around the city for various reasons. 

I think that I have covered many topics and places so far so why not giving my mind a little rest with other aspects of life other than street photography. 

This picture and yesterday's I took in a garden at my friends' house in Argentona, Barcelona.

Update: Purple daisies they seem to be. Thanks to my readers for reminding me about taxonomy.
