I'm a retired U.S. citizen living in Barcelona with my Spanish wife. My passions are photography, guitar playing, and sharing eternal wisdom with anyone interested in learning about how we're created and the future.
This is the entrance to the Castel de Montjuic that was built starting in the 17th century as a fortress protecting any invasion coming from the open Mediterranean Sea. I haven't paid to go inside yet but someday I might. #CasteldeMontjuic #Fortresses #PortofBarcelona #Photography
I have seen this musician a few times next to the Fortress on top of the hill above the Port of Barcelona. He's actually a pretty good guitar playing singer. #Musicians #Performers #Barcelona #Entertainment #Photography
This is one of the cannons that was once used to protect enemy invation of the Port of Barcelona just outside the walls surrounding the fortress. #Cannons #Weapons #Military #CasteldelMontjuic #Fortresses #Photography #Barcelona
Imagine how long it took an artist just to do this tiny piece of the thousands of square feet of concrete flatwork at the Jardins del Mirador. #Art #JardinsdelMirador #Barcelona #Parks #Photography
I could spend hours photographing the concrete flatwork at the Jardins del Mirador and get hundreds of different photos. #Art #ConcreteFlatwork #Parks #Barcelona #Photography
I have many photos of these works of art on the concrete flatwork in the Jardins del Mirador. I must have taken them a long time to finish the project. #JardinsdelMirador #Art #ConcreteFlatwork #Barcelona #Photography
This is the northern part of the Port of Barcelona that I captured with my camera as I was walking along the trail on the hill where the old fortress was built on top of. #PortofBarcelona #Landscapes #Barcelona #MediterraneanSea #Coast #Photography
This is what the concrete flatwork looks like at the Jardins del Mirador down the hill from the old fortress above the Port of Barcelona called Castel de Montjuic. #ConcreteFlatwork #Parks #Art #Barcelona #Photography
If any of you can understand Catalan, let me know what this old picture I saw on a building is about. #Catalan #Catalunya #Barcelona #Photography
This sign would sure get people's attention if it was hanging from a building in the U.S. #Bombers #Signs #Barcelona #Photography #StreetPhotography
This was the first license plate on a firetruck in Barcelona. #Firetrucks #Barcelona #Photography #LicensePlates
In June, I checked out the small museum in the Bomber's building. Bomber's is what the Firefighter's are called in Barcelona. #Bombers #Barcelona #Firefighters #Photography
This photo was meant to be a shadow shot but it got to be more than that at the beach. #Shadows #Beaches #B&WPhotos #blackandwhitephotography #Monochrome #MediterraneanSea #Barcelona
The beaches aren't full of people now because of the heat and Spaniard and Catalan citizens leaving for their one month vacation. #Beaches #MediterraneanSea #Barcelona #Photography
I wouldn't mind being a police officer if I got to ride in a boat around the Port of Barcelona. #Police #Boats #SailboatHarbor #Photography #Barcelona
The sailboat harbor was busy with sailboats heading for the open Mediterranean Sea and others coming back into the harbor. #SailboatHarbor #MediterraneanSea #Barcelona #Photography
This is the Centre Penitenciari de dones de Barcelona, a women's prison still being used today until the new one is built by 2029. This building was built in 1915 but it wasn't a prison until 1983. #Prisons #Barcelona #StreetPhotography
I wasn't bleeding when I captured this image with my camera today. #Reflections #Selfies #Barcelona #StreetPhotography
It was the colors that caused me to aim my camera at this bright red vase planter with a droopy looking green plant. #Planters #Vase #Plants #Photography #Colors
