Station Wagen











Those cars were parked on the street. But they are so clean. But they are so perfectly placed. It's all so ordered. It's German. 

This reminds me of this TV commercial we had in Europe after VolksWagen bought Seat. After the scenes showing you the car, or the story, there is always a final second where the name of the company is the only thing you can see, and the slogan. In this case it was "Pasión española. Tecnología alemana". I thougth it was nice, but some Spaniards got hurt by it. No wonder why.

Hand-in-Hand


Okay, so those hands are not real. I mean, of course they are real, but they are not alive. It's not a painting, it's a sculpture. It's a detail of "Ugolino and his sons" sculpture, by Jean Baptiste Carpeux, 1857. I really find it astonishing.
The story itself is quite sad. Those hands belong to a son who is grabbing his father's legs... in hell. It's taken from Dante's Inferno book: Inferno is worse than you think, it is a place where this father is jailed with his sons, and they are all left there, they know they will die from starvation. You should see the angst face of the father... The children know they are going to die, so they ask they father not to hesitate to eat their bodies so at least he can survive.

Cap the Creus










You already saw a similar one (click HERE).
But now you see the sea, the Mediterranean. The Mare Nostrum.
And at the rear plan, the Pyrenees, the chain of Mountains dividing the Iberian Penninsula from France.

I rather like this combination of possibilities.
