The sun sets over a sea of mountains. The evening haze softens them into the disatnce. The sky is clear but has pink and orange hues due to the humidity in the atmosphere. Taken outside the university refuge at Hoya de la Mora above Granada in Southern Spain in 2023.

Sunset in the Sierra Nevada above Granada. Taken a couple of years ago during a trip there with friends. We stayed at the University refuge and it was an excellent base. Taken on my compact.

A sumptuous staircase in the Gaudi-designed Palau Guell in Barcelona. A thick red and gold carpet runs over stone stairs held in place by metal stair rods. A line of columns to the left of the image.

An quiet, atmospheric passageway within Palau Guell in Barcelona - a lesser-visited Gaudi residence.

The vaulted ceiling in Palau Guell which (at a guess) was around 30 feet above floor level which itself was already a couple of storeys above ground level. This was a particularly stunning room.

Some brightly coloured mosaic tiling on the roof terrace of Palau Guell. Definitely worth the visit and much, much quieter (and far less expensive) than the more famous Gaudi houses: Casa Batllo or La Pedrera (Casa Mila).

A few shots taken in the Gaudi residence 'Palau Guell' during our recent trip to Barcelona.

Afternoon sun floods through some west-facing stained glass windows bathing the interior in golden hues.

The crucifix within La Sagrada Familia. Geometry and noise fixed in Adobe Lightroom.

La Sagrada Familia vaulted ceiling detail.

Having arrived in #Barcelona by train on Sunday after our cycle along the Canal du Midi last week, our time here is almost up already 😭😭😭.

So, here are a few obligatory shots of #LaSagradaFamilia taken during our visit there on Wednesday.

A view under a bridge towards the pont neuf in central toulouse. The Garonne river features too.

My wife and me are cycling the Canal du Midi in Southern France this week. Today we're in Toulouse and we will reach Sète on the Mediterranean coast on Saturday, all being well.

A couple more images from #London.

Our hotel overlooks a #railwaystation so I managed to grab these on my compact camera on full zoom through a gap in the window!

A view over an endless sea of mountains captured as the sun goes down. The colours soften into the distance.

A wide angled view looking up at the huge former Battersea Power Station in London. It is a brick-built structure with massive cooling towers and the area outside is paved with grey tiles and has some benches for sitting.

I'm off to #London for a short break in a couple of days.

So, in preparation, here's a #photo of #BatterseaPowerStation I took on a previous visit.

So... do I pack my compact camera or my mirrorless setup?
This shot was taken on the compact.

A sweeping view of a large loch in North-east Scotland surrounded by mountains and crags. Skies are blue but there is some cloud cover.

Loch Avon and the Shelterstone crag in the heart of the Cairngorm mountains, Scotland. Photo taken in July 2024.
