Another shot from our walk in Barcelona. On the way back from lunch last week, I found this garage's graffiti rather interesting. There is quite a bit of graffiti in Barcelona, as well as in London, and we heard a bunch about it from our teens. I guess if I think about it, I don't care what they said. I don't care that there's a bunch of graffiti in Europe. I just think it's a cool picture. I'll say no more.

Very nice...when I enlarge it it is even better. well positioned too, not right in the center. D.
Are those.....pacmen!?
Who knew pacman was big in Europe still. The guy on the right seems sort of pissed, huh?
Fun picture, but what is Yowin - is it some Spanish term or just gobblety gook?
Or is it supposed to mean "you win"?
i think that's the artists 'identity' - check these out:

those aren't pac men -- those are the ghosts that haunt pac man.
This on the ghosts, compliments of the wikipedia:
1. Blinky ("Shadow") is the red ghost. When pursuing Pac-Man, Blinky will target Pac-man's current position, then choose a path that minimizes the distance (in pixels) to it. When a certain number of dots are eaten on the board (depending on the level), Blinky will receive a considerable boost in speed. Pac-Man fans refer to this change as "Cruise Elroy." The origin of this term is from the TV show The Jetsons.
2. Pinky ("Speedy") is the pink ghost. Pinky usually joins Blinky in close pursuit of Pac-Man, but instead targets the spot four dots ahead of the direction where Pac-Man is pointing.
3. Inky ("Bashful") is the light blue ghost. Inky's behavior seems quite erratic, but in fact, Inky really does have a strategy: First, Inky will offset Pac-Man's current postion by two dots ahead of the direction of where Pac-Man is currently pointing. Next, Inky will then try to "box-in" Pac-Man by moving to the spot that would put Pac-Man's offset position exactly between it and Blinky's current position.
4. Clyde ("Pokey"), the orange ghost, will pursue Pac-Man exactly like Blinky until he gets within a radius of 8 dots of Pac-Man. If too close, he will retreat back to his corner of the screen. However, this makes him more difficult for the player to track, putting the player in danger of accidentally running into him. Furthermore, when Pac-Man eats a power pill and tries to eat all four monsters for maximum points, Clyde is sometimes hard to reach before the pill wears off.
