How many dead Vietcongs do you see in this photograph?

Well, it really doesn't matter how hard you try, accidental discharges do happen with digital cameras. You are trying to figure out what some button, or combination of them in a given secuence, is for and, hop! a lot of innocent bystanders get captured forever in ones and zeros, and then they get uploaded to the internet and nobody can do a thing about it...

So let's make the best out of this tragedy. Tell me, how many people can you see in the picture above? Do you happen to know any of them?

The city was Barcelona, that in the background is a bullfighting ring or something.

While my guitar gently weeps

Yeah, it's a crappy video. And the music from the guitar was more clearly audible than the traffic in the real world. But, anyway.

This Praza Camoes in Lisbon. Due South. My favourite spot in the place.

Spain's breadbasket

This is Northern Spain, somewhere past Leon. Well, Spanish Railways have improved a lot lately, but this particular one brought me powerful memories of days bygone. Crowded, with extra of noisy children, broken down air conditioning, a single WC serviceable...

I spent most of the time peering out through the window. Had to, TV broken down too, no way of reading. The sheer flatness of the land amused me and caught my imagination almost inmediately. This used to be Spain's breadbasket. A rich farmland with large crops of cereal coming out yearly of those long and flat campos. The bread Columbus ate on his trip was made of corn raised here. So they told me.
