Gas Delivery

A worker delivering gas cylinders in central Barcelona. Not all the flats here have a direct gas connection, and they rely on deliveries such as these to provide hot water and/or cooking. The cylinder men walk the streets hitting the tanks like a bell and shouting "Butano!" to attract customers.

 

This was shot a while ago, but this is astonishingly a daily occurrence in much of Barcelona. It seemed fitting for the RPS "Daily Grind" series.
