Another lovely day in Sevilla. I've been meaning to photograph these flowers down by the river for a while now:
They look a bit like poppies, but they're not.

I read an interesting article in the New York Times about the dwindling middle class in Spain. The economy is ok, but the jobs aren't very high paying and there's increasing wealth inequality. The barely left-leaning national gov't fell apart today and there will be elections in April. The recent success of the right-wing Vox party here in Andalucia's local elections has folks nervous there there could be some right-wing nationalists elected in April to national positions. I don't see any reason why Spain should be immune to right-wing whack jobs since none of the rest of us (US, France, England, Germany etc) are. We'll just have to wait and see.
