Barcelona: Cross Processed

4 December, 2011 by amydavies

This is my final set of images from the beautiful city of Barcelona. I do have a few more stored on my hard drive, but, none of them make a coherent set so I think, for now at least, that’s where they will stay. These photos are all taken with my Olympus PEN E-P3, whereas all the others were shot with my DSLR. As you can tell these are all using the Cross Process filter, which I’m pretty unashamedly in […]

Barcelona: Parc Guell

1 December, 2011 by amydavies

This is my penultimate set of pictures from Barcelona – I’m saving something special for the very last one (or at least I think it is…). These are all taken in Parc Guell, Gaudi’s beautiful park space that was originally intended to be a little “village”, but sadly never quite worked out. Well… it’s not that sad as it means we all get to share in its splendour. It’s one of the busiest places in Barcelona, so trying to get […]

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 […]

Barcelona: La Boqueria

18 October, 2011 by amydavies

This is the first blogpost I’ll be uploading containing photos from my recent trip to Barcelona. We visited La Boqueria on the last day, which you may think is an odd place to start. Well, I am odd, and it was one of my favourite places to photograph, despite the grumpy stallholders. La Boqueria is a huge indoor market just off the famous La Rambla in the centre of Barcelona. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations and […]
