See, I could have called this Infrared Barcelona, but some of the pictures in Part II were taken in Montserrat, which isn't in Barcelona. So I can't call it Infrared Barcelona. I'd have to call it Infrared Spain.
But Infrared Spain wouldn't be right either, because Barcelona and Montserrat aren't all of Spain, they're just a small part of it. That would be like presenting some snapshots of London as Infrared Britain. Or some shots of New York as Infrared America, although New Yorkers probably wouldn't understand why that is wrong.
The URL actually works! It reveals that the artist came all the way from Miami, but doesn't say when.Besides which, Barcelona and Montserrat are in Catalonia, which isn't quite Spain. And they aren't all of Catalonia either. So I'd have to call it Infrared Barcelona and Montserrat in Catalonia which is Part of Spain but Not All of It and They are Not All of Catalonia but they ARE All of Themselves. And of course I haven't really photographed all of Barcelona, I've only photographed part of it.
A tiny part of the surface. There's a whole lot underneath the surface that I didn't photograph; a lot that can't be photographed. In Part II, more of the same.

You can call it "Infrared in Barcelona" since Montserrat is in province of Barcelona.
The problem is that some people wouldn't realise that I was talking about Barcelona the province and not Barcelona the city. I'd have to call it "Infrared Barcelona and Montserrat, Barcelona", which would confuse the heck out of people.
The more I look at the word Barcelona the more it becomes a cross between sayonara and "be seeing you" from The Prisoner in my mind.
And so I wish you barcelona. But remember: answers are a prison for oneself.
IS VERY GOOD..............................
