Balcony gardens

Ahh, an apartment with a 'balcón,' or balcony. You could do so many things ... eat your breakfast there ... escape from your roommates .... draw the rooftops.

Or grow plants. Here are some snapshots I took of balcony gardens I loved in Barcelona.

This whole side of a building is covered with plants. At the base there is a telescope so you can watch the birds and other wildlife that live there.
