From philosophical graffiti to the lucky ladybug… From fire-fighting measures to a plague of cats… In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see a summary of ten curious images, of complaints or with messages collected this week in The Reader’s Mailbox.
“I took this photograph in the morning on Calle de Ãvila on the corner of Llull in Barcelona, ​​at 7 o’clock. The message of this peculiar “graffiti” is interesting, but what struck me was that the entire assembly was done with great care I think it’s amazing.”
“Barcelona, ​​the main showcase of a souvenir shop on Larrard street, about 100 meters from the entrance to Park Güell. An image that is a good example of the current tourist model of the city, socially unbearable and almost unacceptable. Is the attraction GaudÃ’s architecture?… The Fuck You?… or the violence of Pablo Escobar?… We ask for good management, it is not surprising that in the Salut neighborhood we classify it as junk tourism”.
“In the heart of the city of Barcelona, ​​in Ronda de Sant Pere, next to Plaça de Catalunya, we see up to nine contenders together. Would any councilor want to have this in front of their house?”
“A ladybug has entered my mother’s kitchen, I have photographed it and I share it, because they say it brings good luck… ha ha ha…”
“Foresighted parents leave the children’s bikes in the morning for when they leave school, in Barcelona.”
“Please, someone do something now because seeing accidents on the AP-7 is already something common every day.”
“The waiting room of a medical center is usually a place where patients wait to be seen by our doctor. Over time, the evolution has been definitive, it has gone from newspapers, magazines, to entertain patients , and from calling the patient over the public address system, to receiving a code on a piece of paper issued by a machine. And you wait for that combination to appear on the screen.”
“Currently, in the waiting rooms there are digitized screens divided into two parts; in the first, it informs the patient which area to go to and, in some places, the waiting times for each doctor. Simultaneously, they are projected on the another part of the screen is videos with generalized medical advice in the form of entertainment, of the utmost importance for patients, while they wait to be seen by their doctors”.
“The fast pace that is applied in these silent videos makes it impossible to fully read their content, thus losing much of its effectiveness. I think it would be more profitable for everyone to look for a more relaxed reading pace and content with larger letters to make it easier to read.
“This photo corresponds to Elisa street in Barcelona, ​​touching Miter / Balmes, an essential entrance to the Putxet. I wonder what we need for the City Council to fix the sidewalks and the road, as it has done with almost all of the streets streets in the area, in addition to providing it with minimal lighting, absolutely insufficient at night”.
“Paying the taxes we already paid them, is it then a matter of having a politician who lives on this street? My daughters arrive at night with their mobile flashlight on. You can see the core of cables in the foreground and a pole still the wooden ones a little higher up. Barcelona or the Third World?”
“This photo reveals the contradiction underlying the ideology of the mayoress Ada Colau and her townspeople, authors of her propagandistic green islands for pedestrians, while streets like the one shown in the photograph -Muntaner, the stretch between Travessera de Grà cia and Diagonal – With a sidewalk width suitable for walking and strolling, it fills up with motorcycles and terraces making it difficult for pedestrians to cross”.
“It is a clear contradiction to pedestrianize various streets that, apart from improving the lives of their residents and congesting traffic on other roads in the city, basically serves as a merely propaganda operation when it keeps others encumbered with motorcycles and terraces. making it difficult for the neighbors to walk.
“I took this photograph around 12 noon on Passeig LluÃs Companys in Barcelona, ​​before the Court of Justice of Catalonia. For days now there has been an individual or several sleeping in a double bed and doing their laundry next to the fountain. You can appreciate the clothes hanging to the left of the photograph. I pass almost every day and there it is still “.
