Tweet

Thanks for coming alone. See you next time!

Thought for the day

Superman isn't brave. You can't be brave if you are indestructible. It's every day people like me and you that are brave, knowing we can easily be defeated but still comtinue forward.

That's true bravery.

Dead or alive?

Tweet

Hope I didn't scare you:) What I mean with dead or alive are these statues I found everywere in Barcelona. Actually, they are real, but they are not moving. It is their way  to earn money. One can take pictures with them and put money in their buckets. I feel sorry for them because you know, it is really hot and they are clothed from head to toes. But this one moved alright. He let me borrow a snake hat:)

Look at the green man! He call himself " The mask". Imagine standing like that whole day!

A fine blue lady who let me borrow her fan! At least she has an umbrella to protect her from the heat of the sun. But standing there for the whole day I believe is very exhausting.  I was happy though that I didn't wear a blue blouse and a blue hat. Or else, the people will give money to me too:)

Anyway, I found these big  mammoth in a shopping mall. Luckily, he is not alive:)

Interesting picture! He looks like a man from the Philippines.

The fish is not alive, so I could hug her:)

not this big frog either

or this huge turtle

Now I wanted ice cream in cone! This one suits my thirst.

How about lollipops? These will definitely gives me tooth ache.

Anyway, I found a statue of a real man again! I wonder where is his chair?  His been in that position for a very long time now.

Oh I love these sweet angels. They are not alive though:)

At last I found my twin sister. Only, she is taller than me:)

This one is a statue for real!

It is of course a copy from a real person. 

Saying goodbye with a statue of this horse. She really made me laugh:))

How about you?

Magic fountain at night!

Tweet

At last, after waiting for some hours to get darker to watch the magical fountain, we can now experience the magical moments. This is how it looks like at night at the city square. 

Come along and enjoy magical fountains at night together with hundreds of people.

I included light quotes to ponder in betweeen.

Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?  ~Maurice Freehill

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.  ~Chinese Proverb

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures.  ~James Thurber

Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.  ~Irish Proverb

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.  ~Ben Sweetland

Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space.  It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe.  It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.  ~Michael Strassfeld

Live in rooms full of light.  ~Cornelius Celsus

We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.  ~Evelyn Dunbar

You can't have a light without a dark to stick it in.  ~Arlo Guthrie

There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.  ~Edith Wharton

People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.  ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.  ~Maori Proverb

The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.  The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light.  ~Felix Adler

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.  ~Anthony J. D'Angelo

A sensible man will remember that the eyes may be confused in two ways - by a change from light to darkness or from darkness to light; and he will recognize that the same thing happens to the soul.  ~Plato

When you possess light within, you see it externally.  ~Anaïs Nin

You can owe nothing, if you give back its light to the sun.  ~Antonio Porchia

Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.  ~Norman B. Rice

Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...  ~Susan Polis Shutz

From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.  ~Aaron Rose

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 8:12
