It took me a while to get this juggling image by urban artist ABOVE, who wrote:
He found that wire setup in Madrid, Spain: Link - Thanks ABOVE!it might sound weird to most people but similar to a burglar
waiting and observing a spot for a future hit,
i had been searching the streets for over 9-months for this type of wire setup.kinda strange how such a simple wire can bring so much excitement to a person.
this "hit" had the foundation laid and with the correct timing
i climbed up a ladder repeatedly a total of 11-times
each with a new layer to make this piece complete.

Spanish art group Luzinterruptus decided to turn construction scaffolding in Madrid into a bit of urban art:
Walking through one of the most commercial areas of Madrid, Calle Preciados, our attention was drawn to these yellow ballswhich are put in place to avoid accidents with scaffolding joints.
There were so many of them installed that the gigantic, threatening metal tube structure had acquired, thanks to these striking points of color, a much more pleasing aspect and therefore we had the urge to stay and investigate the strange objects that people walking by were introducing into the holes.
And one warm night in July we decided to make them more visible so that people would notice, like us, what these insignificant, common objects brought to the aspect of a street under construction.
For our installation Urban Nests, we only had to populate the balls with 130 colored birds, that we left looking into the street from their makeshift homes in the scaffolding and of course light them, to achieve a warm, cozy atmosphere throughout the scaffolded area, inviting one to remain and contemplate such an unusual habitat.

Who knows why the Department of Public Works in Madrid drilled these holes in the asphalt of the same street as the year before – but one thing we do know: they set the stage for urban street art team Luzinterruptus’ art installation "Luminous Craters."

If the residents of Madrid and Barcelona, Spain, seem a little bit high, that’s probably not because they’re high on life. Instead, it may just be because of the cocaine and LSD found in the air. Yes, you read that right:
A new study has found the air in Madrid and Barcelona is also laced with at least five drugs – most prominently cocaine.
The Superior Council of Scientific Investigations, a government institute, said on its website that in addition to cocaine, it found trace amounts of amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids and lysergic acid -a relative of LSD – in air-quality control stations in the cities.
But authorities say that the amount is so miniscule that there’s no reason for alarm: Link (Photo: cuellar [Flickr])
