On the steps of the Museo Nacional del Prado
I remember visiting the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid and I loved it. I visited Madrid in 2003 to stay with a good friend for a week. Back then, we only had rubbish 1mp cameras on our phones, if they had cameras at all. I had my Sony F717 with me and with a…

Spanish Gentleman
A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.
Distracted in Arrecife
Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago. Arrecife, Lanzarote. 2006.

Looks like she was finished with shopping and really needed a nice cup of tea.
The Eiffel Bridge
The Eiffel Bridge (Pont de les Peixateries Velles) over the Onyar River in Girona is an eye catching red bridge. It was built by Gustave Eiffel, just before he built the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There appears to be a few Eiffel Bridges around the world, and strangely enough, this one isn’t listed on that…
Girona Cathedral
I should have done more research before visiting Girona. I would have found out it was used as a filming location for Game of Thrones. As it is, I walked up a cobbled street, rounded a bend, under an archway and saw the magnificent Cathedral, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Girona, before me. The…
