The Montjuic area on the south side of Barcelona has botanical gardens, a castle, several of the venues from the 1992 Summer Olympics, lovely views of the city and the sea, and several leftover pavilions from the 1929 International Exposition. The large building in the background with the dome and spires is now the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. I believe the building in the foreground is now the Archeology Museum. If you walk from Barcelona Plaza, there are several escalators to help you up to the museums. Montjuic is also connected to the waterfront by cable car. It's a quiet expansive park area where Barcelonians go to escape the hordes of tourists in the city center.
The George Peabody Library is a library connected to the Johns Hopkins University. It is focused on research into the 19th century. It was formerly the Library of the Peabody Institute of music in the City of Baltimore. It is on the Peabody campus at West Mount Vernon Place in the Mount Vernon-Belvedere historic cultural neighborhood north of downtown Baltimore, Maryland. The collections are available for use by the general public, in keeping with the Baltimorean merchant and philanthropist George Peabody's goal to create a library "for the free use of all persons who desire to consult it".
The library is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world, Completed in 1878, the library was designed by Baltimore architect Edmund G. Lind in collaboration with the first Peabody provost, Nathaniel H. Morison, who described it as a "cathedral of books". The visually stunning, monumental neo-Greco interior features an atrium that, over an alternating black and white slab marble floor, soars 61 feet high to a latticed skylight of frosted heavy glass, surrounded by five tiers of ornamental black cast-iron balconies (produced locally by the Bartlett-Hayward Company) and gold-scalloped columns containing closely packed book stacks. Between July 2002 and May 2004, the now historic library underwent a $1 million renovation and refurbishment. (Source: Wikipedia)

It's not often I raise the contrast even between images but this one wouldn't work any other way!
3 minutes ago on this very day several decades ago, I popped out onto the planet somewhere just south of London to see if I could do any better than my previous attempts. I won't go into detail just how many years ago it was but without any exaggeration it is by far the largest number so far.
Now if anyone had told me when I was a younger man struggling to make ends meet and not knowing exactly which direction I was headed, just how contented I would be at this age, I would have rolled off the sofa! In fact, to say I'm only contented is a vast under statement. As Churchill once said, when you're going through hell then keep going. In my own words, all the dots will eventually connect.
Thank you for passing through :)

Hey, Dad, do you smell that? A skunk crossed this field earlier.
"...I can't smell it."
...Listen!...It's that big woodpecker with the red head.
"...I don't hear it."
...Wow, can you feel that? There's a small earthquake happening right now!
..."I don't feel it."
...Hey, look, these ants are fighting.
"I don't have my glasses with me, Clancy."
Geez, Dad, how can you enjoy yourself out here when your senses are so dull?
"Well, I have sense enough to go for long walks with my enthusiastic dog pal, whom through his heightened zest for life I live vicariously."
...That makes perfect sense!

It's amazing how important it is to be electronically connected in this modern world, and how isolated it makes you feel when you can't access that connection. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but for many it's a definite reality.
BTW...in the last week I discovered just how nice it is to have access to public libraries...and their computers!!
Also...if you aren't backing up your files and photos, START! I can recommend Mozy online backup service...I am in the process of downloading ALL of the photos that I thought I had lost!!!.......^+^
A layered London street scene exploring distraction, identity and modern isolation. The sharply dressed subject moves through harsh midday light while disconnected from the activity unfolding around her, creating a cinematic moment of urban detachment.
