barceloneta: a different speed of life

for the movie i walked along the sidewalk located on the outskirts of the beach. this walkway was the dividing line between the beach and the urban context that has developed just beyond the sand. the people on the sand, had a much slower pace. most people were laying out, a few people casually strolling along the sand, or swimming in the mediterranean. on the walkway, there was much more activity. people were moving at different speeds. there were a lot of bikers, runners, rollerbladers, walkers, and people just sitting. there was also a lot of street activity such as buses and cars. the street sounds created quite a contrast from the quiet beach. this contrast reflects the movement of people in relation to the setting. these contrasts demonstrate the urban layer that has developed just beyond the sand. these different patterns of movement and speeds of life occur in such a small area with a great deal of activity on a temporal level.
