Procession of skulls… The “jaws” are actually ventilators to circulate the air.
The conductor
Floral pillars
Barcelona sunset
Blue tiles, through a wavy piece of glass…

Bendy pencils for sale at the gift shop. Cute, but not the most practical.
The scales of the dragon – found atop the building. Would not look out of place in a playground.
