Aargh, I find I am a fraud, I didn't take this picture (left) at all, though I do remember an Icarus installation in Canberra. This is, as label says, in Bonn. Selective memory syndrome, it happens at my age, I almost remember it, but had I been there I would have taken this picture so that counts. I did take the other picture, though. It is the Cathedral in Barcelona and Dan and I are going back there on Sunday. Just for a couple of days but neither of us can wait because its one of our fave cities. but I like the juxtaposition of these two pictures, the old and the new, the modern and the ancient and the whole city of Barcelona is a little like that because it celebrates Catalonia through the centuries - and I wonder if that other Icarus statue I posted earlier is still there - I will let you know. In the meantime this is one of the best 'car dancing' songs ever recorded - 2468 your never too late;
