Very cool stuff!
Thanks very much!
This is a wee bit uncanny. I was just looking at some photography and thought ‘you know whose blog I should visit?’ It was one of these talk to yourself thoughts. The answer I gave myself was Conor’s. I went to my blog and who had just liked one of my postings but your dear self – syncronicity or what. Love these Barcelona shots. Looks like a great trip as always.
Ha! It was fate 🙂 Thanks very much for the kind words. I’m really glad you enjoyed them!
Conor, Envious here. Haven’t been to Barcelona in decades. Thanks for letting me revisit it, through your lens and great photos. Hope you had a fantastic time.
Thanks Eric, glad I could take you back there! I had a good time, thanks.
Marvelous! Barcelona’s long been ‘on my list’, and you’re reinforcing that urge to tick it off sooner rather than later. Thanks!
I can highly recommend it! I hope you get there soon.
I fell in love with all of these photos! I hope to visit Barcelona one day.
Thnk you! I hope you get there, it’s a great city.
Made me smile, right down to my belly..thankyou…X
That’s really good to hear Heather, thanks a mil!
Looks like it was a fun music festival. Cute dog photo chewing.
Thanks Mary, his owner was really delighted when I asked her if I could take a photo fo him 🙂
There are some super snippets of Barcelona here. Wish I was there. 🙂
Thanks Jo. I wish I was back there!
Really great (as usual)!
Thanks Richard, that’s very kind of you.
Stunning, loved the Stairs shot. Thank you!
Thanks Andrew!
What a great and varied bunch of images!
Thanks very much!
You have some great street shots here!
Thanks very much! It’s a very interesting place, full of interesting people. Sorry for the slow reply, just back in the country.
Nice shots! Barcelona looks like a lot of fun, still haven’t been there… By the by, long time no see, you must be quite busy!
Hi Nicola, thanks for stopping by! Ya, Barcelona is a lot of fun, I hope it’s on your list 🙂 Been very busy and just back in Ireland after 10 days away, so hence the slow reply – sorry.
Wow! Lovely collection 🙂
Thanks very much!
Loved them, specially the one called Stairs
Thanks very much, that’s the apartment building we stayed in, just a quick look up before walking out the door!
Great shots Conor. I love the street lights and the drumming and music, ok all of them are wonderful. I loved reading about you and your likes and dislikes. I agree about people using their manners, I tell my sons constantly, that people admire others with good manners,
Keep taking the photos. As a fellow learner of photography, who learns best on the fly, I am enjoying the challenges and the rewards of capturing a great picture, when I do.
Barcelona looks amazing.
Hi Nikki, thanks very much for stopping by and checking out my photos. I’m still learning on the fly too, will get a few more photos up (and hopefully taken!) over the weekend.
Really glad to hear you are enjoying capturing and creating images. For me, that’s the bit I love, not the finished product. it is so calming and exciting all at once. With that camera around my neck I feel really in tune with everything around me and completely isolated at the same time. Right, that’s enough paradoxes and waffling for one comment! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Conor, I can appreciate your sentiment. I love taking the photos, finding the photos and getting the shot I want on my camera. Sometimes the other stuff, downloading, organizing, etc. can be a tad exhausting. The upside is I get to relive the moments when I was taking the shot,again. Mostly it involves critique, but I still love the whole process.
Glad to meet a fellow photo seeker. Can’t wait to see what you’ve shot recently.
All the best, Nikki
These are amazing shots!
Thanks Allan!
