The beautiful colours of Cardiff in Autumn

22 November, 2011 by amydavies


Autumn is one of my favourite times of year, photographically at least. The beautiful colours, gorgeous tones and fantastic light… it’s a real no brainer. And while I may be a bit slow in getting these up, with December just around the corner, I still wanted to make sure they were shared. I didn’t spend hours and hours on these photos, I’ll be honest, but it was just one perfect afternoon in November where the sun was shining, the air […]

Barcelona: Casa Batlló

13 November, 2011 by amydavies


On to another Gaudi masterpiece… I hope you’re not bored yet (personally I could look at Gaudi all day…), and here we have Casa Battlo. This is another of Gaudi’s designs located on the Passeig de Gracia and is one of the most colourful buildings you will come across in Barcelona (and that’s saying something). I love both the outside and inside of this one, with the beautiful chimneys and roofing proving that you can have style and function in […]

Barcelona: La Pedrera

12 November, 2011 by amydavies


The first time I visited La Pedrera – or Casa Mila as it is sometimes known – in 2004, I barely noticed it. Odd thing to say isn’t it? I remember taking a couple of quick snaps as we walked past it, but nothing more than that. Well this time, a little more informed and realising what wonders lie inside, or strictly speaking upstairs, on the roof, I made it a must-see destination. Unfortunately, it’s a little pricey to visit […]

Barcelona: La Sagrada Familia

8 November, 2011 by amydavies


The next set of photos from my recent trip to Barcelona come from the hugely touristic trap, La Sagrada Familia. It’s often said that a trip to Barcelona isn’t complete without a trip to La Sagrada, and judging by the hours and hours long queue outside, everyone’s read the same thing. My initial reaction to seeing a queue that long? “Bugger this.” Even, I, self-confessed Gaudiphile, desperate to see what had changed inside La Sagrada since my last visit in […]
