The title of this post is a lie; I just didn’t know what to call it; they’re not pictures of people, but I hate the word cityscapes. It is buildings, and a couple courtyards, and roses growing in an ancient Roman graveyard. A picture of a nice cloud thrown in, because I’m still me. Yeah, got another half dozen or so posts left in this vein, and then the vacation slideshow will be over, and the regular life slideshow will recommence. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0008.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0009.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/more_buildings/636/0010.jpg’ /> </div>

It would be possible to go to Barcelona and spend all of your time there just looking at all the different churches. There’s probably a degree in medieval architecture to be had for a thesis on them. I took a few pictures. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/churches/637/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/churches/637/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/churches/637/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/churches/637/0011.jpg’ /> </div>

That was a lot of our time in Barcelona, just walking around the quarter our apartment was in, and eating delicious food, and ocaisionally seeing interesting things. Lots of cool little shops. Like a good american, I indulged in a few things: a very nice knife, of spanish steel, a blank book and fountain pen, and a couple hats to last me through the winter. There are still about 160 photos in the BCN collection in my lightroom; I’m going to allow myself maybe 4 more posts, in quick succession, and then move on. So I need to edit that to ~30 photos. Oy vey. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_lot_of_walking_punctuated_by_cafes_and_tapas/638/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

So, as some of my friends know, I was in Barcelona for a couple weeks back in october, and up until that point I was doing a pretty good job of catching up with getting photos posted. Then of course everything went to hell, and so here we are almost december and I’m just now getting to this. Getting there involved a fairly late flight out of OKC, an even later flight out of Detroit, and an afternoon flight from Amsterdam. Airports are mostly boring, so no pictures of them this time, but one from the plane as we were looking out over the City and the ocean. I got to BCN, had a beer, and slept for 14 hours. The jaws of life couldn’t pry me from that bed. That morning, we got up and went to the market Boqueria, had a fairly decent breakfast, and set off in search of a local SIM card for my unlocked cell phone. Managed that, and then visited a cathedral (pictured) which was nice. Sorry, I didn’t take down place names or details; I’m not that kind of photographer (although if someone had been paying me to do travel photography of BCN, I probably would have kept better notes). <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_of_many_posts_about_barcelona/639/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_of_many_posts_about_barcelona/639/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_of_many_posts_about_barcelona/639/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_of_many_posts_about_barcelona/639/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_of_many_posts_about_barcelona/639/0005.jpg’ /> </div>
