Hello Ken,
It does make me cluster phobic alas a very detailed composition. Very well done and have a wonderful weekend.

Indeed a very crowded city, I have not been to Barcelona (or Spain, unless the Canary Islands count:) but never imagined it looks like that! From the thumbnail, in fact, my first thought was Latin America - one of those neighbourhoods scattered on hillsides of some gigantic city like Caracas. It is an interesting photo, and I personally like very much when a frame has lots of detail and keeps you busy watching for more than a few seconds. Nice one.

Hi,Ken,
It does look like a puzzle or a sort of patchwork.
The information supplied goes very well with this shot.

IMO too bright but an interesting urban composition with a graphic & abstract touch :)
regards
