Blaines & Barcelona
Searching through some of my old photographs, I found some nice pictures of Barcelona and Blaines which I thought were worthy of an outing. Barcelona is a lovely city, with some beautiful buildings and a real eclectic mix of styles and architecture. It is a great place to visit and has a lovely atmosphere. Blaines is a small resort on the Costa Brava, with a beautiful seafront, a marina and a real old Spanish village feel to it, despite it being a modern and industrious town. These pictures are ones which I found really interesting for a variety of reasons. I was particularly interested in the patterns and surfaces of some of them. I love the picture of the lizard, as it was a candid shot which just seemed to work more by luck than judgement. I also like the building in Barcelona which has interesting angles, parallel lines and reflections in it. Finally, the picture of Pinchy, the giant crayfish which adorns the waterfront at Barcelona is a favourite sight of mine, as I adore the cheekiness and quirkiness of it.
