Just like her higher-ranked football team, the beautiful city of Seville is not at her best right now. A refuse collectors' strike is into its 10th day, meaning that rubbish is piling up on every street corner, turning even the shortest walk into a foul-smelling obstacle course.
But it isn't always like this. A company called NimboVisión has made two spectacular videos which combine tilt-shift (to give the "miniature" look) and time-lapse (the jerky stop-start effecct) photography to offer a unique perspective on the city. The first film can be seen here, but it is the second one that we're interested in, as you'll see from about 1'20" in.
Gorgeous!!!

It's over now, Ahsan - and the clear-up has begun (although I reckon it'll take a good couple of weeks before things are really back to normal).
