The picture shows people training for building human castles (castells) in Tarragona. It's a catalan tradition. The group on the photo is Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona (ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colla_Jove_Xiquets_de_Tarragona).
(I've intentionally taken the picture this way in order to protect the identity of the people involved.)
A view of #Seattle from #KerryPark, you can see the #ClimatePledge Arena, #LumenField, #TMobilePark, the Seattle Great Wheel and other buildings. The day was one of the best this spring, with the sky really clear that you could see iconic Mount Rainier in the distance. Looks kind of Photoshopped, doesn't it?
While on holiday in Rosas, Spain I had an idea for a photography project which would also challenge my social and lingual skills: a series of photos on the people of Rosas (which I decided to name "Gente de Rosas").
Familiar faces of people I see every day and friends, but also random passers-by on the streets and persons unknown to me.
I memorized a few sentences and carried a small book with me so that people could give me their names if they wanted to cooperate.
I've met a lot of interesting and beautiful people who were very friendly and helpful, even though my Spanish isn't very good.
This will probably be an ongoing project which I'll continue next year.
'The Kids in the Hall' are some of the most influential comedic minds Canada has ever had. Dave Foley, of course, is one of the Kids. Born and bred in Toronto, Dave dropped out of high school and spent his time at Second City, taking improv. That's where he met Kevin McDonald, in 1982. Eventually, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompsonnjoined in and by the mid '80's, they were 'The Kids in the Hall.' It wasn't long until Lorne Michaels of 'SNL' put them on TV. By 1994, the guys went their separate ways. A year later, Dave started playing 'Dave Nelson' - anstraight-laced news director and closet-Canadian on 'NewsRadio.' He also hit the big screen in movies like "It's Pat", "Brain Candy", "A Bug's Life" and "South Park". Recently, 'The Kids in The Hall' gang reunited for a NorthnAmerican tour and gave their fans a taste of some new material.
