one versus all

ovamode's posterous

mi vida... tu dinero

that's a good slogan for a bar in el Casco Viejo, Bilbao

Daniel Buren

Daniel Buren transformed La Salve bridge into a door, near the Guggenheim Bilbao. I like the contrast with the old University of Deusto.

 

José Ibarrola

Estaba paseando cerca del ayuntamiento, cuando me topé con un jardín diseñado por José Ibarrola. Por lo visto hay un concurso, Bilbaojardín 2007. De José Ibarrola  no me suele interesar mucho lo que hace, pero esto me sorprendió. Es un tópico lo Bilbao y los paraguas, pero el resultado era muy convincente.

Sorpresas que da el pasarse por Bilbao de vez en cuando. Pena que solo llevaba el iPhone.

nobody in sight

It was so cold nobody was in sight in La Ribera.

sunday morning

In Bilbao, I do as the locals do. First, coffee and croissant, then a civilized walk by the river.

still winter in Donostia

No surfers in sight at la Zurriola.

signage

Found it in a pedestrian passage at Mount Ulia, San Sebastian. Funny thing is, you follow the arrows mount up or down, wether you want it or not.

metro

Clean and warm. I prefer to go home walking, but this was a cold winter night.

house of mirrors

This building looks quite menacing with the low winter light. It's just 10 minutes walking from the Guggenheim Museum. A week ago or so I realized Allan Holdsworth has a song, House of Mirrors. He was playing a white Steinberger guitar at the time he recorded it, and the chord voicings are unique.
