Spanish photographer Gabor Erdelyi came up with a simple idea for capturing some of the life in the beautiful city of Barcelona: photograph a seaside bench for a year. In the Barceloneta area of the city, Erdely faithfully took photos from a bird’s-eye view to capture the many ways the locals use the bench.

“This is a small point of the fisherman’s village lively, vibrant life. [It’s] an integral part of everyday life, of love, of life, of birthdays, of loneliness, of joint activities and of games. This is one of the many thousands of similar sites of community building.”
