Moon with colorful aura [OC]

Is there a name for when a nearly full moon shines through the clouds at night and produces a rainbow-like aura? A moonbow perhaps?

San Diego MTS [OC]

You ever wanted to just be a small dog, held by a lady on a train in San Diego, admired by all?

[OC] Some B&W photos of Barcelona

I am not a serious photographer, but with the help of black and white filters I can pretend.

[OP] Lol someone ordered Burger King at the beach.

Not sure if they're actually going to get their order though.

[OC] Monjuïc Castle

Yesterday, we took a funicular (not pictured, unfortunately) and a cable car up to the Monjuïc Castle fortress. It's an impressive structure with excellent views of the city and there's an active park on the surrounding grounds, but it has a dark history. On multiple occasions, its cannon have been turned on the city below to administer collective punishment for resistance to the crown in Madrid. The fortress has also been the site of numerous atrocities. Look up the Bombardment of Barcelona (1842) for example.

Went for a little run

Went for a little 4k run between my hotel and the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. I even spotted some green Monk Parrots, the same as we have back home. They're actually native to South America, but have been introduced to at least two continents, without becoming disruptive to the local ecosystems. One of the first things I noticed when we arrived was their distinctive call, welcoming us. You know, if they can make a home here maybe I can, too, someday.

[OC] Neighbor's house just went up.

Not sure how long it was going before the fire department arrived, but it was maybe ten minutes between when I heard the sirens and the fire was under control.

[OC] A fawn waiting for its mother, curled up in a garden bed under a bush, behind a fence. You can see the mother out of focus in the background.
