White March

Today is quite an unusual day here… I live in Barcelona since 1993 and I’d never seen before something like that, the city is completely snowed! Right now it’s snowing and I’m hearing thunders and a couple of kids playing. It’s not the first time that I see snow here, but it’s really strange (maybe once in every five years) and usually the snow is quite subtle and incidental and fades away in a couple of hours. Who said global warming?

Electric blue

“In August 1973 lighting struck a paint factory at Middelsborough, bringing down a vat of sulphuric acid. The acid fell into a yard, spattering gloss paint test samples that had been weathering there for fifteen years. The one sample to scape damage was a colour identified on the paint manufacturer’s colour-chart as electric-blue.”
Act of God by Peter Greenaway

“Electric blue is a color close to cyan that is a representation of the color of lightning, an electric spark, and argon signs.”
