Day 4

Day 4 was given over to more  Gaudi houses and exploring La Ravel area of the cty.

Day 3 Gaudi Day

Monday is a day when many museums close in Barcelona. So we headed out to La Sagrada Família. It is such an iconic building I was quite prepared to be disappointed by it. The exterior is interesting but the interior is breathtaking an equal to any church I have seen. 


After we visited Parc Guell another area with lots of features designed by Gaudi. This was less spectacular. 

Barcelona Day 2, Sunday

Sunday was the day for a slow ramble through the narrow streets of the 'Barri Gothic' area of Barcelona. It was very quiet and we were able to visit lots of churches and museums. Not many shops were open but as we were not shopping that was not a great issue. At the end of the day we ended up in the square outside the Cathedral watching the band and the dancers.

 

Barcelona. Time delayed Blogging.

Today will be Day One of a time delayed blog from a trip to Barcelona. We have just got back and rather than spend time online while away I decided to Blog after the event.


Day One


The first day was travelling. The trip was very easy all connections were on time transits were easy and the weather good. We arrived in Barcelona on Saturday afternoon and after booking into the hotel we went out for a walk and then to see the magic fountains. This gave us a feel for the underground with a five stop trip.


The fountains only played on Friday and Saturday nights so this was our only chance to see them.


It was well worth the trip we stayed and saw two displays. After it was back to the hotel, food and bed.

Museum of Kent Life

Just to get out of the house today we had a visit to The museum of kent life at Aylesford. Just before the school holiday so it was very quiet. I had set my kit up with what I was going to be shooting with on a forthcoming trip. After a couple of hours I realised that I had over packed and rethink of kit was needed.


More weight than I would be happy carrying for 4 days. 


Anyway I got some images I was pleased with considering I had not been out shooting for weeks and my 'eye' was not in.

iPhone again

Gravesend

I have not been shooting much over the past few weeks, but today the sun was out and I had to do a visit to the bank. I did a few images on the iphone.

London

Had to do a trip to London today not for photography, but did some 'phone' images.

Outdoor Photography

I had another image chosen for the 'Woodland Detail' competition in the January issue of Outdoor Photography. The image was taken at Bedgebury Pinetum in October 2009.

Christmas in North Wales part 2

The snow at Christmas was outstanding this year.
