Barcelona

Not from Barcelona

Dali
When I visited Barcelona I went to see a Dali exhibition. I'm afraid that I only speak English so the poster said something like,

"....blah..blah..blah.. Salvador Dali ..blah..blah........"

I went expecting to see his paintings but instead it was an exhibition of photographs of the man himself.

Now I know that Dali isn't really from Barcelona but I took this photo (erm... of a photo) IN Barcelona.

Still, it's a great photo of the man.
Place by the Harbour

Early morning walk

You may notice in my pages that I photograph a lot of buildings. Rather than being a keen architect, reading up on the different styles and influences I am actually more of a house spotter. I have no idea what this building is but I liked it and it seemed to me to be typical of a Spanish Seaside Office.

(I would be happy to mention your name if you can identify this place so that I can caption it properly!)
Another place

Another Building

And here's another one.

I like to either get up early in the morning (I took these pictures at 0730) so that there are no people in the pictures - or maybe just one or two for effect - or at sunset.

The best "night shots" are usually taken just as the sun has gone down and there is still some light in the sky.

 Great views from the top of Columbus monument. Pity, I didn't know it's possible to get there, but will defenately do it next time.

 Your "blah...blah.... blah..." comment cracked me up! My friends and I missed the *** show when it was in Boston recently. Oh well!
