Marisa’s travelogue

Monsters

Monsters

The comparative anatomy gallery's display of mutations; a two-headed lamb.

Whales

Whales

The comparative anatomy gallery and the ridiculous hugeness of whales.

Bones

Bones

The comparative anatomy gallery: creaky, dusty, hasn't changed in 100 years.

Flamenco

Flamenco

Plastic flamenco dancers dance plastic dances over the shelves of Madrid's souvenir shelves.

Ice

Ice

Modern office buildings along Barcelona's coastline.

Dali in Paris

Dali in Paris

Looking more than a little bit like Dali's melted clocks, this melting apartment facade is actually just a front for the renovations going on inside.

Sunday

Sunday

I used to live at the edge of the 7th arrondisment in Paris. It was a busy area right near the Eiffel Tower, but in the Allee des Cygnes, I found a place where I could sit with a book and listen to the water.

Watching

Watching

A classical statue in the Tuileries watches over a lone pedestrian enjoying the first day of spring.

Indoor/Outdoor

Indoor/Outdoor

The Musee du Quai Branly houses Paris' collections of indigenous art from around the world. The building itself is also a work of art. Along the quai, the modern structure, created by architect Jean Nouvel, features a vertical garden of plants growing out of the wall.
