Week 3: Thing #5: Flickr


In June I traveled to Barcelona with my family. You can see lots of photos (119 to be precise) of our trip on Flickr with my boys' smiling faces. One of those photos (without boys) was, conveniently for this exercise, of a library. This is the comment I originally wrote for the photo: "This was the local library in GrĂ cia. I think the two apartment buildings behind it are a really nice example of the contrasts in Barcelona architecture. What I wish I had photographed was the dog-rack next to the entrance. It looked like your typical bike-rack, but had a little metal dog placard and a large bowl of water next to it. " What I also noticed about the libraries in Barcelona was that they were open late into the evenings and were usually located next to other amenities such as parks and public transit. Great city!

Barcelona is so full of art and beauty. Thanks for sharing the fun item about the dog rack outside the library! When we toured Spain, our son took photos of public recycling bins of all sorts.
