der himmel über barcelona

 
 
How very Goya (insert alternative Dutch, Italian, Flemish Old Master of choice) are those skies. So very dramatic and dark. Love them.

Now, the same spot but showing street lamps and apartment blocks; definitely much less 18th century. However, I somehow reckon Don Francisco would have approved of those clouds.
Even though I'm glad I'm getting a new phone soon, I'm definitely going to miss this trusty little one's camera.
This were taken outside my bro's apartment in Barcelona exactly a month ago (between Xmas and New Year, which seems like yonks ago.) 

I'll also post more Berlin pics soon (hence, the title reference.) That's another trip that seems to have taken place months and months ago. Bah. January. Bastard.

Update - I've just realised (Tuesday 1st February, late evening) that this post can double up as evening skies cv this week. Double somersault in the air.

  22. love the little hint of golden light in all of these. such a smart ninja, too, to double up. i have been a CV slacker these past two weeks with too many snow days and ice days to actually have time to sit and think. i love seeing yours and getting your many fantastic comments.

  24. I can't believe you took these with your phone....Awesome!!

  25. one: stop the adulation, you mad people (you know who you are)
    two: the mobile phone does that. not enough light, so crazy effects are created. love it but cannot take massive amounts of credit for it. alas! ;)
