This black-and-white photograph captures a street scene at Plaça de la Universitat in Barcelona. In the foreground, a number of bicycles are parked along a bike lane, with one person tending to a bike. A prominent, ornate streetlamp stands on the right, its classical design contrasting with the modern bus and bicycle infrastructure.
The street itself is wide and lined with tall, deciduous trees, their canopies creating a natural, leafy ceiling. A bus is visible in the center of the frame, moving down the street. In the background, buildings line the street, including a large, classical building with a series of arched windows and a prominent facade. This is the historic building of the University of Barcelona. The interplay of light and shadow, filtering through the tree leaves and branches, gives the image a dappled, textured quality. The photo captures the dynamic and multi-modal nature of this central square, where students, commuters, and city life all intersect.
