The Barcelona 'Shutdown'

This is my first consignment of Eurotour photos, these were from the last Friday (27/8/2004) in Barcelona and were all taken within about 5 hours of each other. It's quite amusing really when you consider the constant theme of sarcastic 'shutdown' jabber. Perhaps the joke was actually on us, maybe we need to spend more time on the beach in future.
