Basque Country





























First stop Bilboa to see the famous Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Geary.  Just walking around this amazing structure took a fair part of the morning!
When you approach the museum you are greeted by the "puppy"  The surface is completely cover by low growing flowers!
Quilt patterns are never to far away!  Pavers make suggestions where ever we go!

 
                                                                  Then on to the coast on the Bay of Biscay!  A beautiful coast line with many picturesque Ports and other historical sites like San Juan de Gaztelugatxe.
It was quite a schlep getting down there and back up the mountain but it was worth it!
Yesterday we wondered around Guernica, the village made known to the world by Pablo Picasso's painting.  An absract but powerful image of the bombing by the Nazis in 1937.
The original is in the Sofia in Madrid but this Tile rendering is near the Town Center in Guernica.
                                     I hope these note find you well!  cheers, CW

    Your photos are fabulous--such spectacular subjects. I am enjoying them all, even though this is my first comment. I'm out of breath just looking at the 'walks' you've done!
