Barcelona, a photo a day

100th posting! AKA Festa Major de Gracia 1


Festa Major de Gracia. This is Catalan for Gracia’s main fiesta. One week of music, dancing, fire, drinking, eating, fairy tales, etc in the barrio of Gracia.
One of the most immediate things you see when you come into Gracia is the street decoration. Not any street decoration though: they brought it to a level and a scale I haven’t seen before. It is a photographer’s dream. And maybe the best thing about it is that almost everything is made of recycled stuff.
It is just amazing. Watch and enjoy.
When the festa in Gracia is over, the next one starts in Sants! Great! Many photo opps!!!

    Just as the auto industry was ripe for change in 1903 when Henry Ford set up Ford Motor Company in Detroit, carmakers again seem on the cusp of revolution.[url=http://atrilander.com/automotive/crafts-automotive-repair/]crafts automotive repair[/url]

    Hybrid and pure electric vehicles threaten to overthrow the dynasty of the old internal-combustion engine even as proposed greenhouse-gas legislation would undermine its supremacy. [url=http://atrilander.com/uto-sales/hunter-farris-auto-sales/]hunter farris auto sales[/url]
    China, Japan, and South Korea are hard at work creating batteries for the green cars of the future. And so is Michigan.

    Having spent more than $700 million in tax incentives since 2006 to attract, retain, and grow battery companies, the state is aiming to become the “advanced battery capital of the world.” There’s wide agreement here on the consequences.

    “We’re faced with either finding new markets for those companies or losing them,” says Greg Main of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. “We can’t be a one-horse town any longer [url=http://atrilander.com/uto-sales/otis-chandler-auto-collection-sale/]otis chandler auto collection sale[/url]
    ,” said Michael Robinet of auto forecaster CSM Worldwide in Northville, Mich.

    But Detroit’s transition to greener automaking is by no means assured. US battery firms are late to the race. Even if their technology wins, there’s no guarantee that Detroit would beat out California or other states vying for supremacy.
