I often go to such events since they provide good photo opportunities. Violence at political rallies is extremely rare here in Spain, so safety is never a concern. 11_1 The crowd coming down the Rambla: 11_2 Apparently […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":671,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":725,"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724\/revisions\/725"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fotocycle.dk\/paws\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nApparently dogs and children also have an opinion about the Rajoy government:

\nSerious men and less serious-looking women:

\nThe women take the leadership role:

\nAll age groups were represented:

\nEven Lisa Simpson was there:

\nScissor-heads protesting against budget CUTS:

\nThis man got a comment from a passing old lady about his placard being in bad taste. It reads “If you don’t agree to get fucked, you will be fired”:

\nIt did not take long before the demo disintegrated, and the participants sat down for the usual Sunday afternoon refreshments:

\nWe have a photography club at the office (I am the vice president, meaning that I don’t really have to do anything of substance). This week Lightbox held its annual general meeting. Corinne is a new and very enthusiastic member of the junta<\/em>. Here she is explaining details of a planned club trip to Iceland:

\nI go for haircuts at a Chinese place in the centre of town. They are open 7 days a week and always have time to cut my hair for the princely sum of 9 Euro. I went this week, and had to wait a bit. While waiting, I was observing the nail lady helping the little boy (I don’t know if he is her son) with his writing:

\nFriday I went for lunch with a couple of colleagues at one of our customary places, El Capricho de Raquel. For added entertainment, we had a photo session taking place at the neighbouring table. The restaurant had decided to have some nice brochures made and to upgrade their website, so they hired a photographer to take some food shots:

\nI suspect that this plate of prawns is more generous than the one you would actually get served:

\nThe waitress looks on. This is serious business:

\nWhen I walk Cheeta in the morning, I usually stop by the bakery to buy a baguette. Cheeta waits for me outside:

\nTaco the Cat likes to arrange himself among the stuffed animals on my daughter’s bed. Here he is lazily waking up:
\n![\"DSF1469\"](\"uploads\/2012\/11_16.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nNow fully awake and somewhat miffed because I have put some liquid on his neck where he cannot lick it off. This is the whole idea; the liquid was a worm cure that is designed to be absorbed through the skin, so you do not have to fight to force a pill down the cat’s throat:
