Wish this statement about tagging was true. I was shocked in Germany a few months ago with the prolific defacing on such old and revered statues, monuments, descriptive plaques, etc. You actually had to get out your phone to read what it was “supposed” to state instead of the actual piece itself.

Thanks for the explanations and clarifications! This particular “cap” really is crown like, though.
Another SF connection was when St. Mary’s Church was remodeled in the late 1960’s the moniker was “the church looks like an agitator on the washing machine”. And, it’s white, so quite appropriate !

Better there than here! The crows roosting in the afternoon are such a menace! If only we did not have the overhanging wires they would not be a problem. They are really smart, though. Reminds me of the seagulls that hang out when it is the end of the seventh inning at Pac Bell Park ( Giants baseball) :)

Fashion plate :)

Good sleuthing! And you’re right about it being. Motobecane - we went back there for lunch today and I took a closeup.

By zooming in I could just make out GAC. As best I can tell it's a Mobylette-GAC AV-27, built under license with Motobecane.

Here's a bit of history: https://www.okpoolack.com/en/blog/post/23-mobylette-gac-history-and-evolution-an-icon-of-two-wheelers

Rachael is very style conscious. They go well with her scarf too.

Yes, it does. I don’t know if you noticed that the church tower in nearby Peralata (visible in the distance shot in yesterday’s post) has the same style. They’re both more modern ideas - the churches are Romanesque from nine or ten centuries ago but the towers were reconstructed in I think the 18th.

Thanks for pointing that out, because I’d meant to mention them. Some kind of crow, probably jackdaws since that’s the type that congregates in large numbers here.

Yup. There’s a photo of it in your journal.

I think I remember that little park!

I think they were manufactured in or near Barcelona - so, In Catalonia. They must be an iconic item here that I haven’t noticed before. There was one suspended from the ceiling of our restaurant yesterday.

Funny. Actually I had a similar thought myself.

Well that’s one way to reduce the number of SUVs on the road.

Isn’t it beautiful though? I hadn’t thought of it, but you don’t really see much defacing of places like this. It seems to be kept more to places like abandoned shacks or underpasses.
