Creeps Me Out a Bit

And I love it!

Palau Church Early Morning

I often walk past this church. It's my turn back point for my one hour walks towards Barcelona along the Congost River.
I know that it isn't a remarkable structure and is quite plain if you want to start comparing it to other buildings.
But I love it.
It's a land mark in these parts. It's bells ring out every 15 minutes. It's surrounded by die hard farm land and refuses to budge to the looming factory buildings of Granollers.
I like that.

Slaughter House

The other day on my walk I heard some screams. But I couldn't identify what was making the noise. It was high and terrifying but could easily have been some malfunctioning machine.
Finally I saw two truck loads of pigs in front of a building across the river.
They don't scream every day. Today they were quiet as I walked past.

Burning Off

Yep. They still burn off here.
I am sure it's illegal in Australia to do that.
And look at the colour of that smoke!! It smelt toxic.
Pretty picture though.

Destination Viena

This is the Viena Montmelo. The one I've been walking to. It takes an hour. Today I jogged a bit too.
The staff are friendly and do their job well.
Their slogan is 'Viena to eat well and fast'.  It's a sandwish bar and has some side salads and sweet croissants.

Goodbye Christmas 2011

They are taking the decorations down! We took ours down on the weekend.
The Christmas period here lasts until Epiphany on the 6th of January.
See you again in December!

Good Morning!

It's difficult to see but that's the moon and a street light. Very cold this morning! Not a cloud in the sky.
Have a great day!

I Love Sunrises!

I am a morning person. I love the morning and I love the morning sun.
Today was a really beautiful sunrise. After I walked Jett to school I started my morning walk and the colour was beginning to saturate the sky.
Even the factories look beautiful in the early morning light.
We often walked in the sunrise on the camino de santiago. Listening to the birds. Perhaps a little frost on the grass.
I love the light on the clouds. I love the quick shift of colour as the sun rises and I love when the sun finally breaks over the horizon and starts to light up everything it touches.
It's the second week of the year. Jett started school today. In new shoes that hurt his feet. Might have to take them back at lunch time. Poor Albert came down with a 'flu and is still in bed. I've been lucky so far and missed the germs going around.
Have a great day everyone!
