Huelva, Andalucia, Spain
We are still in Huelva, but first, a
Flashback to Sevilla
Can anybody tell me the name of this kind of flower? My whole life I've
grown up (and now out) with them without knowing what to call them.
Later: the consensus is ... acanthus. Thanks everybody who chimed in.
The back wall of the Sevilla bus station. Are these murals authorized?
Or are they freelance, and therefore officially defacement? They are a huge improvement over
the blank block wall that this would be without them.
Back in Huelva
Columbus
There is somthing just slightly edgy about the statue of Columbus at the
head of Huelva's major plaza. Portrayed as heroic, he also looks a
bit the fanatic. He would be in place in an Eisenstein movie about some massive
out-of-control social upheaval.
Columbus is known in Spanish as Colon.
Does that say something about
what they think he was full of?
