Assignment 1: Senses of the City of Sevilla

Dong!Dong!Dong!The riddling sound of the bell drifts through downtown Seville at every quarter past the hour. As I stand adjacent from La Cathedral de Sevilla and beside the La Casa de La Provincia, people from all walks of life steadily stroll up and down the streets. Birds chirping as they seek a stand still place, horses hooves clamping through the cobble stones, and maintenance attendants conducting street improvements creates sounds of  activity. The gloomy sky shifts the temperature from hot to cool. As I approach the Patio de Banderas, I encounter French speaking tourists capturing vivid monumental images of the city. Tourists pace through the deserted geometric square field  that is encircled with orange trees awaiting  to be picked and nourished. Steps away from La Casa de La Provincia, horse carriages are unoccupied with visitors and horses awaits for  signal for embarkment. The medieval architecture of La Cathedral de Sevilla sits at an angle awaiting for visitors to discover history behind its doors.
