Reach for the skies
Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in…
Careful on a bike
Weaving in and out between people walking along a pedestrianised street in Malaga, this delivery guy made good pace, without upsetting many people, thankfully.
Llafranc at Night
The Spanish coast of the Mediterranean is a sea of artificial light, making astrophotography pretty difficult to do, but it does make for interesting panoramas. The original merged image is over 9,000 pixels wide and full screen, it’s great to zoom in and scroll around.
Transparent Legs
On a busy street in Valencia, I took photos of the passing traffic under a cloudy sky lit by the setting sun. Another tourist decided they wanted to photograph the same scene and somehow failed to see me crouched near my camera. It wasn’t until his companion shouted at him to move that he obliged…
Another tourist in Malaga
Malaga has a huge tourist industry and is great for street photography. I think I’ve posted at least five images over the years from this very street, and have a couple more to go, too!
Friends hanging around
Friends sitting on a window sill, in front of a shop, in Valencia one afternoon in October 2023.
The interesting shop
Down a side street in Valencia I spotted five ladies looking in the windows of a tourist shop selling T-shirts, fridge magnets, kitchen towels, bags and all sorts of other knick-knacks.
Still Water and Blue Sky
One afternoon while we were in Valencia we visited the Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe on hire bikes. There were huge crowds there, taking selfies and hanging around, but with a long 20-second exposure they all (mostly) disappear into a blur. In the photo above you’ll also see the Pont l’Assut de l’Or bridge…
The Valencia Dancers
Dancers who had just been performing in a square in Valencia relax for a few moments.
Hair’s the wig shop
I wonder what was going through this woman’s mind as she looked at the wigs on display in this shop in Valencia, Spain.
The Lilac Hat on Tour
A tour group in Malaga listens to a tour guide talk outside the cathedral. I liked the colour of the lilac hat in the foreground.
The afterglow of sunset
The sky is glowing red and orange after the sun has set, and the land and buildings in the foreground have been cast into darkness.
