After a long day of exploring the Barri Gotic area of Barcelona, we came upon the Placa Nova where there was a circular crowd of people. We discovered that they were being entertained by a group of street acrobats. They had selected a couple who were standing somewhat anxiously in the center. Speaking In Catalan, the lead acrobat explained what was about to happen, which of course we didn’t understand. While watching the crowd I looked up just as the acrobat was leaping over the couple. Instinct took over and I lifted the camera. Talk about shooting “in the moment!”
