Mont Juic & The 92 Olympics

It is no secret that the success of Barcelona in recent years owes most of it to the olympics that were held here in 1992. When Barcleona got the bid to host the olympics they created a plan that would not only make th event a huge international success but also put the city on the map as an event city. The long-term investment strategy paid off for the city as they were able to reappropriate most of the structures they built for the Olympics. This is a rare feat for a city because there is so much money to be in put into hosting the olympics. Mont Juic was the site of the Olympic stadium and indoor arena that now doubles a concert venue.

The graffiti is so prevalent that it fits into the city just as much as a building does. In America its discouraged so when it is present on a wall or building it looks unnatural.

The clouds were rolling over the hills and I happened to catch this great shot of the fountains with  rain clouds billowing behind it. 

The famous telecom tower on Mont Juic. It was designed specifically for the Olympics and transmitted much of the television feeds from International TV broadcasters. 

I did get a chance to look inside the olympic stadium and I was given the chills because of all the great athletes that have been through this stadium and were looking at the same view I was taking pictures of.
