Passion of Flamenco...At least that was in my mind. Of course, other than that, I did not know what to expect.
I was quite pleasantly surprised...

I've studied little bit of Flamenco and had seen a number of performances, but what I saw in Sevilla was entirely different...both good and bad.

The one of the few downsides to the whole show was that more than half the people in the theater smoked...!
Beware..it is possible that one might need gas mask when going to Spain.

But that is a rumor...except on our first day, we saw rain. What is the chance of that? Thankfully, it slowed to a minor drizzle at best when we started from our hotel and arrived at this beautiful plaza built in early 1900s for Ibero-American world fare.

It is a wonder that we did not get lost through all the distractions of photo taking...especially a group photo in front of water fountain where it was so dark that only my fluorescent orange umbrella was visible...

The windy small streets, street musicians...somehow we found a coffee shop that that is too large for this little quarter. One would expect everything to be small.
More Cafe solos and we were ready for the next surprise...

The quietness of the Barrio gives over to the noisy plaza. Our guide was plagued by a local newspaper interviewer amongst all...

The day had completely turned around from the drizzling rain to the sunny normal day in Sevilla. The weather had warmed considerably since we entered Sevilla...actually since we crossed the mountain.

I suppose Christopher Columbus really had no voice in the matter, but well...it happened. Of course, Spanish government and others are still somewhat fighting over whether the real one is inside or not. They are even doing a DNA testing...which I think is somewhat ridiculous. Poor man, must one suffer even after death to satisfy pride of others?

Most laser chopping techniques use a CO2 based mostly laser supply with CNC machining a wavelength of around 10µm; some more modern techniques use a YAG based mostly laser with a wavelength of around 1 µm. In days passed by, all metallic chopping would have been done by a specialised noticed. While effective sufficient, this will sometimes leave rough or imperfect edges.
