Catalonia, Spain, European Union.
"Diables" or a devils troupe performing a correfóc, a traditional Catalan fire display mixing dances, choreography and diverse handheld fireworks. Taken at the La Mercé festivities in 2026 in central Barcelona. A group of performers, three standing at the center of the image, facing outwards, holding long sticks bearing massive sparklers, while other performers kneeling in circle around them, also looking outwards. The scene is covered in red light difused by the smoke of the fireworks, and a rain of golden sparks frame the scene.

"Sol spectatorem nisi cum deficit non habet. Nemo observat lunam nisi cum laborat... adeo naturale est admirari nova potius quam magna."-Seneca
Sun has no spectator except when fails. Noone notices Moon except when suffers... so natural is 2 admire things that R new rather than things that R great
The total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026, seen near Zaragoza, Asturias, Spain. The blackened disk of the sun is about 5 degrees above the horizon of an agricultural landscape. The bright solar corona contrast with the dark disk of the moon. The landscape is darkened, street lights of roads and building are visible from afar.

Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, European Union
A four-floor structure built on the edge of a cliff, it is one of the "hanging houses" in Cuenca, Spain. The house is made of stone with wooden balconies and tiled roofs, built in the 1500s. The picture is taken at night, bit the building is elegantly illuminated with architectural lightning to highlight its features.

Hispania, daughter of a thousand cultures, heiress to a thousand futures #flamenco #Andalucia #art #dance
An Andalusian flamenco dancer, a 17-year old girl in a red dress, hair and make up in the traditional ways. She has a hand raised while the other pulls up the long dress to allow her to do a quick "zapateo" (hitting the wooden floor with the heels of her shoes in a fast, rhythmical way that guides the musicians playing). Her posture is elegant, full of strength and grace.p

I love how, 5000+ years later, we still build religious statues of winged bulls. The new Lammasu!

The northeast and southeast arms of the cross atop the highest tower of the Sagrada Família have been installed. The ceramics tile work is exquisite. Note the windows and the construction worker for size reference.

Akhnaten, by Phillip Glass. It's been a while since an opera blew my head. A magnificent collaboration between LA Opera, NY Met Opera and Barcelona's Liceu. Art keeps us alive.

Spices are magical
A close-up picture of a white porcelain plate with 4 small mounds of different spices on it, from very low angle a few centimetres above the level of it's rim. Closest mound to the lens is on the left and in focus, clove heads; to the right and back, depth of field blur, turmeric; further back to the left, ground cumin; finally to the right, very blurry further aback, merkén.
