Charm in its decay

El Poblenou district of Barcelona, June 2019

El Poblenou is a part of Barcelona that I am sure to visit on any visit I make to the city. It has a great mix of old and new, traditional and technical, green and artificial. The portion north of Avinguda Diagonal has a good supply of old warehouses, and loads of ever-changing street art.

You can make decay elegant. How do you do that? 🙂

  I think it’s quite good without my help. And some sun helps 🙂

That first building has a very asymmetrical face. I adore your photos this week. 😀
