Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

November 30, 2022. A November rose in Lleida spotted during my late afternoon walk. I spent most of the day preparing slides for my talk Friday. And that was basically my day. https://flic.kr/p/2o3if9f

November 29, 2022. This is the side of the old church at Parròquia de Sant Martí, Bisbe, in Lleida. I appreciated the way the symmetry combined with asymmetry and the textures in the fading evening light. Today I got caught up after traveling and planned my presentation coming up Friday. https://flic.kr/p/2o38VFz

November 28, 2022. This photo is from the back side of Barcelona Sants, where the taxi left me. Today was a travel day, from Prague to Lleida, via an air-to-rail connection in Barcelona. Travel was an all-day affair under less-than-ideal conditions (specifically, being crammed into a discount airline seat). https://flic.kr/p/2o33fkF

November 27, 2022. I started the day with the Banksy exhibit in an old subversive church in central Prague, then filled out the remainder of the day walking some 11 km and taking hundreds of photos. The city feels like Amsterdam; drugs, booze and tourists abound, there's a lot of art but a lot of it isn't genuine. https://flic.kr/p/2o2EQnP

November 26, 2022. This is a Dali sculpture, 'the Unicorn', on the banks of the river Vltava as it runs through Prague. I was up early and arrived in the city by 1:30 but with the time change and winter, it was dark by 4 or so. Still, that was enough time for a quick walk through the city in the throngs of the Saturday night crowd. Cool, but not cold. https://flic.kr/p/2o2vHMF

November 26, 2022. Just another building I walked past on the way to the restaurant for the post-conference dinner. Still under the weather and very tired (conferences always make me tired). https://flic.kr/p/2o2y4Nn

November 24, 2022. This is the view from the top of the Intercontinental Hotel. I was doing an interview and I suggested the elevator because it was likely the only quiet place, but when we got to the top this view unfolded and that's where we did it. I also sat on a makeshift panel to help replace a canceled spotlight session, and did a quick run to the Christmas market as it was closing. Quite tired today and under the weather with a cold. https://flic.kr/p/2o2AMwA
