One of the “housing challenged” people in the Il Pilar neighborhood collecting metal scraps in her cart. There are several people in the area that I see making their way to the various refuse containers we have on the streets here but this is the first time I have seen her. I hope she has made some good finds that will be useful to her.

On the path between Plaza Reina and Plaza Virgin, a lone man carries the spoils of his shopping excursion to his home.
Clearly something has not gone well for this gentleman. Perhaps his drink is unsatisfactory, or maybe something in his view is displeasing him. His companion seems to be OK, however, and seems to be enjoying her drink on this chilly day.
I’ll admit I didn’t quite see everything going on when I snapped this shot, but it turned out to be pretty interesting when I reviewed it later. I know nothing bad actually occurred here, but it does look like the man on the right should be looking the other way, as the figure on the left does seem to be giving the couple too much attention.
This gentleman is a fixture here in Valencia often found near the Colon metro station. When I shot this back in 2021 during our initial visit to Valencia I had no idea that we would see him often after we moved here. His playing may not be “the best” but he has tons of character 🙂
This mother and daughter (I’m assuming) stepped in front of us as we were walking back to our apartment here in Valencia. The light in this space illuminated this little girl and seems to have caught her attention in a way that tells you there’s a story we can’t quite see.
