Up the steps
A person climbs the stairs of a car park in Figueres, right next to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, if memory serves. A beautiful building surrounded by brutal modern structures for modern car life.
Sky High Vantage Point

Reach for the skies
Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in…

A woman, deep in thought, wondering what she’ll buy at a market in London a few years ago. I only noticed she had her glasses sitting on her head. Ingenious! I hate wearing sunglasses while walking, as I have to replace them with my glasses when I go somewhere dark.
Sweep away the old year
