Barcelona

Barcelona

I have visited Barcelona once before a few years ago and loved it and so I was very excited to be going back. Leaving from a grey and miserable London I arrived in sunny Spain which was such a great bonus, the sunshine just seems to make everywhere seem so much better.

Some images of the beautiful blue sky from the plane.

One of the last photos I took in Barcelona on the roof of my hotel, the rooftops seem to have lives of their own away from the street.

Some more photos from my trip. 

The Necropolis was probably my favourite part of Glasgow, it has an amazing view overlooking the city.

Travelling from London to Glasgow was brilliant, it's only around an hour by plane so its a great for a weekend.

PARIS

My second adventure started very early on a cold December day, 4am to be precise.

The early start followed quickly by a 3 hour Eurostar journey, for which this was my entertainment in between several naps! :

Upon arrival the weather wasn't any better and persistent drizzled hampered my attempts to find the hotel (which took around 3 hours!) But thankfully as darkness fell the drizzle stopped and allowed me to take a nighttime trip around the city.

First stop, the Notre Dam :

The sky was lovely and cloudy and the bright moon shone down to make an amazing skyline.

Followed by a trip to the Eiffel Tower. A very impressive sight from all angles!

Unfortunately the next day saw no improvement in the weather, in fact the wind was stronger and photographing the sights proved a battle against the conditions. This is where a lens cloth becomes invaluable, after every few shots the lens was coated in raindrops and needed a good clean.

However the rain did make for great pictures, the water covering the ground reflecting all the lights:

LONDON

My first trip is to the lovely and lively city of London. As this is the city I call home it's quite an unusual experiance looking around from the viewpoint of a travel photographer.

Things that seem so everyday suddenly stand out. 

Luckily for me it was a lovely sunny November day and I had a lot of fun wandering around the city looking for various photographic opportunities.

Here the path leading to the London Eye is lined with trees so I adjusted the colours to bring out the lovely warm autumn atmosphere.

Here are some more of the images taken not seen in the magazine :
