black & yellow cabs
stop pick-up and go -
swift as bees in summer

Isabel said...: Nice images.

Is it warm there right now?; January 17, 2008 at 9:56 AM
Gwil W said...: Get out of the sea breeze and it's quite ok. About 16 C. Oranges on the trees. Lovely sight!
We were there for a week. Great place plus Gaudi, Picasso, etc.; January 17, 2008 at 3:36 PM
jem said...: Really good - that colour connection formed a really strong link between the two images.; January 20, 2008 at 6:11 AM
Gwil W said...: Indeed Jeb. There's a huge car park around the corner from the main airport entrance where countless yellow & black cabs wait in regimented lines.
An official by means of hand signs and whistles, rather like a New York cop controls events and flings the cabs into bursts of action; it all unfolds like a swarm of bees leaving a hive to seek their pollen everytime a plane lands, which is about every 5minutes. Never saw anything like it!; January 20, 2008 at 10:03 AM
