A chicken effigy stands guard in the window of an old house, built into the medieval city wall of Girona, Spain. The university town, which dates to ancient times, tore down most of the city walls in the late 19th-century, but a remaining portion forms the Passeig de la Muralla, a tourist route around the old city.
We visited Girona a few years ago, with a NY colleague who is from there; this shot was made while walking the wall with her. Girona has some other architectural notables as well: a bridge by Gustave Eiffel over the Onyar, one of three rivers of Girona and its ancient Cathedral for two.
