I must admit I didn't travel much in my life. At least until now. I was simply too busy pushing pedals on that stupid hamster wheel. But I'm not complaining tho. It's just the way it was.
It wasn't soo bad after all. I worked hard and raise a great family. They don't depend on me anymore and now I think it's time to take some deserved break.
My decision to invest in steem help me to achieve some of the new goals and challenges as well.
While visiting new countries and cities everything is new to me. Well, not new in a sense like I didn't know anything about the subject.
Because I'm kind of oldfashioned guy I like to see and touch things. It's much more valuable than just see on TV or Youtube. Because of that sometimes I get overexcited even over some usual everyday stuff. Like a small kid.
We meet a very special kind of artists on our stay in Barcelona. You can find them on Youtube in pranks but on the street, it's a unique experience.
Cristopher Columbus.
The golden lady was very popular and I couldn't get the photo without a random tourist on it.
It looks like some kind of mythological creature to me.
Science fiction is the most popular among kids.
The headless guy in Guell park.
Gold and ladies kind of fit together.
He drew a lot of attention holding the pole and hover in the air.
I meet this Cowboy on our first day. Maybe he'll attend The Calgary rodeo this summer. Who knows?
All these guys must have a lot of skills and imagination to dress like this and put on the makeup. Some patience helps too.
They differ one from another a lot. But if you look carefully you'll see a small but very important detail on every photo.
A small jar where you can throw some change.
Like tiny upward pointing arrow under our posts.
Are we live statues too?
Be active. In life and on steemit.
This is elegant

I've always been fascinated by these people dressing up and looking like statues. They have some special talents in staying put for hours at a time sometimes... Working on their moves, when they do, really accentuates their act and some of them are just phenomenal.
The ones you presented us with seem pretty amazing, thank you for sharing these cool shots with us.
Namaste :)

Great photographs @oldtimer.
I find these live statues incredible. How they can stand so still for even a few seconds is amazing to me let along for the long stints of time they actually do it.
And those levitating ones are always fun to see in real life. 😊

While I always wanted to have a look at them f2f , they do look great by the way and unique in their own ways .
Liked them pretty much.
Thanks for bringing them up to us ;)

In my opinion statues always showcase the essence of liveliness who are not alive, means for example, most of the places consists of statues on the basis of memories of someone or some thought, which always remind us the works of particular person or particular thoughts, in this sense we can say that the statues always live. Every statue in this post reflecting as an great art pieces but i personally liked the headless dancer like statue because it's really unique and it's reflecting as mismatch beauty means the combination and idea of this statue and the greenery background is beautifully mismatched. Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

I am always amazed by the statues and I think there should be more statues on the streets because they are so beautiful and I believe most people love looking at the art and read the history of it.
Thanks for sharing these amazingly beautiful statues. I really enjoyed it.
I love the Cristopher Columbus statue.

Nestvarno i vredno divljenja i pažnje. Fantastični su, izgledaju kao prave statue. Nešto sasvim novo za mene. Sve statue su originalne i lepe na svoj način. Nije mi jasno ko vrši odabir za postavku na ulicama.
Želim svu sreću vašoj porodici i vama! Veliki pozdrav. :) Hvala vam @oldtimer što ste podelili ovu priču sa nama.

I've traveled in the last year more than i did in the last 10 years (not including last year obviously).
I made a promise to my wife and me, that we'll travel at least to one city/country every year. Looking at your Barcelona posts and fact that she knows Spanish, could decide our next years destination =) But I'm more pro Madrid than Barcelona :P

Its been years since I was in Barcelona but I see that the living statues have definitely upped their game. The metallic costumes and levitating armatures are a great illusion in your photographs. I can imagine it must be even better in person. So you're giving us great advice... don't be a statue in life or on Steemit! Thanks!

Well I do believe we each play an important role in this play called Steemit.
Those are really impressive artists. Many thanks for sharing them.

It is hard to do what these artists does and staying all day in a limited position really would just be unimaginable for me @oldtimer since time for me is very valuable and spending it to make a small income is just too much to think about in my opinion.

Nice photography and some absolutely amazing talent on display. How the hell do they get cleaned up afterwards?
I too have not travelled much (hamster wheel and family responsibilties) .... But that is going to change soon. I retire in 10 months time and then "Have camera...will travel" stage of my life starts. Of course the time invested in Steemit will hopefully not go unrewarded.... {meanders off to read some more @oldtimers posts}

“I was simply too busy pushing pedals on that stupid hamster wheel“ ... zelo dober opis hektične rutine, ki nas lahko čisto posrka vase. Če nismo pozorni, pa nas lahko oropa čudovitih trenutkov, ki lahko krojijo naše življenje. Lepo pa je med vrsticami slišati tvoje cenjenje do tvoje družine in hvaležnost, da jih imaš. Sama v otroštvu ravno nisem imela takega dragocenega “paketa”, zato pa današnje življenje, ki sva ga oblikovala skupaj z možem, še bolj cenim. Si prava inspiracija, še naprej imej tako rad svojo družino in deli z nami lepe trenutke, ki jih preživljate skupaj. Hvala in lep pozdravček tebi in delčku tvoje družine čez lužo 👋🏻

This "mythological creature" is a centaur, maybe Chiron.
