OK, I fiddled a bit with the last one, but the light and the colours are getting more interesting now and these agaves (big version = 90K) are exactly how I found them near the beginning of my Gelida-Sant Sadurní route, honest guv.
The agave is very much in the eye of the beholder. Last time I hit you with some Lorca, and Derek Walcott writes of “the spiked agave on the cliff bringing the dust of Navarre across the ocean,” but today I preferred this lovely haiku by Donna Gallagher:
orange agave buds
against the white mission wall
shadows of gravestones
