There is a lot of smoke, loud sounds from firecrackers exploding and fiery balls of hot molten gunpowder hitting us and our hair during the parade on the opening day of the Festa de Gracia which was on Friday evening, the 15th of August. #festadegracia #blackandwhitephotography
There is always a small carnival on the street I live along during the Festa de Gracia so I photographed the various games and rides I saw there yesterday. #festadegracia #carnivals #barcelona #streetphotography #photography
The Star War's characters were out and about during the Festa de Gracia. They left their street after I saw them there and then saw them again on a sidewalk hunting for their enemy I suppose. LOL!!! #festadegracia #starwars #photography #streetphotography
Lots of beer is drunk during the Festa de Gracia that lasts 7 days. It will end tomorrow so this particular street will have plenty of beer left over because I got this shot around 6:30 pm last night. #festadegracia #festivals #barcelona #photography #streetphotography #beerdrinkers
I'm glad I went out to look at some streets before the Festa de Gracia started last Friday because the man-made wall you see in this photo was burned up during the weekend but the rest of the things was okay. I walked through it yesterday. #festadegracia #photography
These hand made objects look delicious. It takes some special artists to design and build them for their streets during the Festival of Gracia which is the neighborhood I live in. #festadegracia #streetphotography #photography #barcelona #festivals
These busy bees were celebrating on their street that's involved in the competition during the Festa de Gracia. I went through most of the streets yesterday afternoon to photograph some of the things that interested me. #festadegracia #streetphotography #barcelona #photography
That's right, I am a white weasel, not a cat, not a dog, just a white weasel who my human loves dearly. #photography #pets #streetphotography #festadegracia
The stunning streets of Carrer Jesus at Festa de Gràcia. ✨ A magical atmosphere and incredible decor! What’s your favorite street in Gràcia this year? 👇 #FestaDeGracia #Barcelona #Gracia #CarrerJesus #FestivalDeCarrers
Those gunpowder loaded guns are very loud, especially with about 30 of them blasting away to start the parade last night. #festadegracia #parades #gunpowder #photography
This photo is of one of 21 streets and public squares that are in competition during the Festa de Gracia that started yesterday. I will be going through this particular street on Monday after the weekend crowd hoping it will be less crowded. #festadegracia #barcelona #streetphotography #photography
It's a tradition here in Spain to use these giant figures in various parades and events. They had a few of them in the parade last night. #giants #photography #streetphotography #spanishparades #barcelona #festadegracia
Everyone has a good time during the Festival of Gracia that always starts on the 15th of August each year. #festadegracia #photography #streetphotography #parades
Life in Barcelona is fun for entire families and why I think the youth here have so much respect for their elders. The kids learn how to become an adult by interacting with them in parades like last night's parade on my street. #kids #streetphotography #photography #festadegracia #parades
I don't know what the age limit is to be fiery little devil but there were plenty of them in the parade last night. #streetphotography #photography #parade #festadegracia #barcelona
I walked out of our building to watch the parade on our street last night for the start of the Festival of Gracia. #streetphotography #photography #festadegracia #barcelona
The Gracia area of Barcelona is where I live and enjoy life as an old U.S. citizen who is getting legally married to a Spanish woman after meeting her 23 years ago via the internet. Yes you can fall in love 6,000 miles away from each other. #love #photography #festadegracia #match.com
I guess it takes a man to build a pregnant female prop for the Festa Major de Gràcia that starts tomorrow. #festadegracia #barcelona #photography #streetphotography #festivals #artists
"Busy like a bee" going on in this street with the theme of honey bees during the Festa Major de Gràcia. I enjoy photographing them at work before the opening day which is tomorrow. #festadegracia #barcelona #photography #streetphotography #community
Tomorrow the Festa Major de Gràcia begins and ends on the 21st, a week's worth of 21 streets and public squares competing for the best decor using cheap materials like you see in this photo I captured with my camera last night. #photography #streetphotography #festadegracia
The Festa Major de Gràcia starts tomorrow so I went out last night to see how far along each of the 21 different streets and public squares are decorated. It seems impossible that they can finish by the 15th of August. #festamajor #barcelona #photography #streetphotography #festadegracia
