Buddha Statue

Thailand has a prevalence of Buddhism that ranks among the highest in the world. 94.6% of the population are Buddhists. The Thai calendar is also based on the Eastern version of the Buddhist Era which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar.
Each city has many old magnificently decorated temples that I love visiting. Each temple hosts also a few Buddha statues.
Some temple "etiquette" to follow when visiting temples:

• Wear modest clothes. No shorts, tank tops, mini-skirts, flashy jewelry.
• Take off your shoes before entering a temple.
• Keep your head lower than the Buddha statues.
• DO NOT touch the head of a Buddha statue, climb over it, take a photo with it.
• Do not point your feet at Buddha images or anyone else.

In other words, be respectful and don't do anything you wouldn't do in worship place of your own confession.

General Prim - Parc de la Ciutadella

I had the occasion to visit Barcelona a few times during my travels. It's a city I really like for its atmosphere, architecture and culture. It is difficult to get bored taking photos while wandering around the old streets and huge parks.
This shot was taken while visiting the Parc the la Ciutadella with a few friends. Opened in the mid-19th century, it's the most central park in Barcelona and for a long time the only green area inside the city. It hosts a zoo (that hosted the famous albino gorilla Snowflake), a lake, museums, a parliament and a fountain designed by Gaudi.
The statue on the photo is of General Juan Prim, a famous Catalan general and statesman assassinated in 1870. I liked the silhouette against the evening sky.
