Barcelona Spain Photo Gallery
Barcelona, Spain is one of my favourite cities in Europe. The Modernisme architecture, spear-headed by Antoni Gaudi, is incredible and there is a new and beautiful scene around every corner. Below is a gallery of a few of my favourite images of Barcelona, taken on three separate visits. Click on the thumbnail to view the full images with captions.

Barcelona is one of my favourite cities in the world. This photo that I shot in Parc Guell, designed by Antoni Gaudí, illustrates a few of the reasons why. The architecture, heavily influenced by Gaudi himself, is stunning and unique. There is colour everywhere. And, like this relaxed trumpet player, there is music in the air and a laid back enjoyment of life.

I shot many windows and balconies in Barcelona, Spain because I was fascinated at how the Spanish use their balconies as just another room of their house. This Great Dane was rather upset that his owners were going somewhere exciting without him but was amusing himself by watching the people on the street below.
