B from Barcelona

Not very far from the city of Barcelona, near a town called Sant Feliu de Codines and while visiting Cim d'Àligues (the eagles peak) I took the classical kind of picture of bee roaming around flower. The group was listening to a detailed explanation on the habits of birds of prey and I went aside for some macros on the beatiful flowers in the vicinity. By now, you are wondering what this Cim d'Àligues is after all. It is a "center created for the study, breeding, exhibition and free-flight of birds of prey" for educational purposes. A wonderful place that I recommend. Perhaps I´ll show a couple of shots some other day.

Barcelona People: Oh Happy Days!

What can be more comforting than watching children play. Just for a little while set aside all your adult prejudice, your daily stress and sulkiness and try to remember where the joy of life really is!. Recall the old days when you were not thinking about the past or the future and all you cared about in this world was to run and laugh, to shout and have some fun. The snapshot was taken at shopping center La Maquinista. There are some distracting elements in the background but kids wouldn´t wait!

Barcelona People: Pride

Today I didn´t feel in the mood for color. I thought a little try at BW would be just fine and what is better than people for this purpose. On the bus from work bored as hell on my half an hour ride, I was playing with my camera and caught the expression of pride in this lady's face. I think I will start taking pictures of people every once in a while, people from Barcelona of all kind. Wish me luck, I'm too shy!
