Description I grew bored walking around Barcelona taking snaps here, drinking an absinthe there, some tapas, then more touristy snaps. Oh, this isn't to say that Barcelona is boring. Far from it. Probably one of the most inspirational cities I've been in. But, it's just I kept thinking of how times most of the beautiful sites had been photographed by millions of photographers.

So, I decided to focus my lens on the everyday mundane elements of Barcelona. Just for an hour or so... I wasn't going to shoot anything the rest of the tourists were shooting. I was going to focus on the real subliminal texture of the place.

This and the next 3 images were taken of some rusted metal plates on the sidewalk near the shipyard of Barcelona, Spain.

Oh yeah, that mix of orange rusty plates over the blueish background gives it great contrast. The angles of the plates below exactly opposite the rusted ones, give it some texture that flows into the background. Great composition,

Beautiful picture, I really dig the orange colour!
Absinthe is illegal in America? All types of Absinthe, or just the *really* strong ones (like the glowing green variety)?
I guess the Eurotrip guys were right... America was founded by prudes

I like this one best from the series... It's got a nice pattern, nice contrast between the bright and vivid colour and the angle is just perfect.

You have made my point that I stated in the window image.The right perspective and your fresh eye and attention to composition,color and detail have made this image jump out a grab us.Nicely captured and presented Skip.
