Postcard sent by Pedro (Spain), during a recent trip to A Coruña.
On the background you can see the most famous landmark of this city: the Tower of Hercules, the oldest known extant Roman lighthouse. It also appears on the pictorial postmark:

Is this octopus made of mosaic?
ReplyDeleteIt is!
DeleteVery photogenic, I'd like to see those pieces of mosaic shine on a sunny day like that. I like the link between the Roman world and their mosaic octopus on floor tiles and of course you have the luck of a remaining lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteI think it is impossible not to take a picture of this octopus :)
DeleteIndeed. it really is a beautiful piece and quite well placed. Furthermore it is a "functional" sculpture, since it is a bench, so I can imagine that on any given sunny summer day it might get quite popular with the "shoot me in two dozen poses" crowd,:-)
DeleteOh, and I forgot: There was Paella, (or should I say, Arroz à Valenciana), a very large one, in my letterbox today. Thanks (Maybe I will try the recipe... ;-)
DeleteMail went out today too.
Oh, no, don't try it!!!
DeleteThe octopus on the postcard is a gorgeous sculpture. I love that the tiles change colors, and they installed it across the railing. I also like the cow stamp.
