Race
Made by vanarts
Insomnia isn't always a bad friend. It gave me time to examine every single pin in my 40D, my card reader, and my CF card, and to my surprise, the card worked wonders all over again (I'd been figuratively crying about its failure all the way from Barcelona to Vietnam). Now that the most self-satisfactory photos of my trip are rescued, I decide to skip melancholic Paris and rainy Brussels for Barcelona. This is a magical place where the old and new meets and blends perfectly. Alone on La Rambla, Barca's most joyful street, I got to see... ... a totally naked man riding a bike around the old splendid Plaça Reial, where I tasted paella and was a little drunk with a sangria... ... a funny-looking guy with a pair of tinted glasses following me, smiling at my back until I decided that he had to stop... ... roosters, rabbits, flowers, drawings, souvenirs, etc. sold on the same pavement... ... the unique African wooden bowl that my dear colleague W. proudly owns in Singapore... ... the unbelievably seductive narrow streets... ... the happiest fruit market ever - Mercado de San Jose... ... the many funky handicraft boutiques, each and every of which I longed to visit... ... the... and the... I won't be able to stop typing what I loved about La Rambla. It reminded me so much of Singapore's famous Orchard Road, but then here I saw cultural magic. I took this photo in one small carrer before twilight, impressed with the brisk lighting, people racewalking with the sun, the smoke, and even the manholes. If you ask, I'd say I'm a fan of every detail of life in Barca, where you'd feel warm in your heart despite being all alone.
Dragon
Made by Alicia Salvador "Nube gris""Ausente temporalmente"
Este edificio, construido en 1858, fue completamente remodelado en 1883 por Josep Vilaseca para adecuarlo a las necesidades de la tienda que la ocupaba. Fruto de esta reforma, que conllevó la remonta de un piso más, son las originales fachadas del edificio, un compendio de referencias orientalistas, egipcias y barrocas. Destacan las sombrillas y abanicos de fundición que llenan los vacíos entre los balcones. El elemento más emblemático es el original dragón chino de la esquina, que sostiene una farola de hierro del cual cuelga un paraguas. La tienda fue terminada en 1885 y decorada con vitrales, pinturas y carpintería de motivos japoneses. El edificio fue restaurado en 1980 cuando se instaló una entidad bancaria.
Liceu & La Rambla
Made by kenny mccartney
This is from the balcony of our hostel, overlooking La Rambla towards the southeast. Directly next door and just out of the frame (right) is the beautiful and renown Gran Teatre del Liceu, the opera house by which this square and Metro stop is named after. Unfortunately a good opportunity to photograph this Opera House never arose. Those on my Facebook can see the brightly-dressed Spaniard who tried to feature herself in my one attempt. Square crop format (1x1); two-shot stitch. Two minute exposure, still easily visible is the flow of pedestrian traffic. 5D II + TSE 24L II + BW ND110 + Hoya CPL

Roseton de la Iglesia del Pi
Made by tetegil
En 1936 es incendiada al inicio de la Guerra Civil Española, perdiendo el altar mayor, el retablo, las imágenes, la sillería, el órgano, las vidrieras y el rosetón. En 1950 se comenzaron las obras para reparar las huellas que dejó la Guerra Civil. Afortunadamente se pudo reconstruir el gran rosetón de la facha principal (10 m de diámetro) tal como era en origen, gracias a que Josep María Jujol (arquitecto encargado de la restauración, catedrático de la escuela de Arquitectura de Barcelona y discípulo de Antonio Gaudí) la había hecho dibujar a sus alumnos.
Pepita
Made by Ramocchia
Dopo dieci minuti che parlavamo con lei ci siamo trovati daccordo su tutto: Zapatero si ma anche no, Berlusconi proprio no, le uniones estables de pareja sono un bene, il vaticano dovrebbe farsi gli affari suoi, che cosa c'è di meglio di una cerveza fresca, magari accompagnata da una sigaretta, gironzolare per la boqueria mette il buonumore, speriamo che non finiscano mai di costruire la sagrada familia. E quando, prima di andare, ci ha voluto a tutti i costi regalare due fette di tonno fresco, non ho proprio avuto il coraggio di dirle che non mangio pesce..
Chinese Dragon
Made by MarcelGermain
La Rambla - Barcelona (Catalonia). Located in the middle section of La Rambla, the Bruno Quadras Building, usually known as Casa dels paraigües (Catalan for House of the umbrellas), was once an umbrella factory. It is decorated with umbrellas and several elements inspired by chinese art. Among these, the most remarkable element in the façade is this Chinese dragon, which is quite unique in Barcelona and one of the many interesting sigths one should not miss when walking down La Rambla.
Barcelona sin ti.
Made by threecowboys
¿Sabes? Vuelvo a nuestra ciudad, de vez en cuando, quizás solo por amor a la nostalgia. Las calles son ahora, a pesar del verano, un poco más oscuras, y el sol y el calor no consiguen llegar a aquellos rincones que nos hechan de menos. ¿Sabes? Me dijo que nos hecha de menos. Que el aire no es el mismo sin nuestra respiración acompasada, y que le falta algo cuando no están nuestros pasos, a tres dedos del suelo, pisando aquellos charcos de nuestras tardes de lluvia.

Door to hell
Made by Oscar García
“Por mí se va a la ciudad del llanto; por mí se va al eterno dolor; por mí se llega al lugar en donde moran los que no tienen salvación; la justicia animó a mi sublime arquitecto; me hizo a la Divina Potestad, la Suprema Sabiduría y el primer Amor. Antes que yo no hubo nada creado, a excepción de lo inmortal, y yo duro eternamente. ¡Oh vosotros los que entráis, abandonad toda esperanza!” Dante Alighieri - La Divina Comedia

Barcelona - Gothic church interior
Made by tom.wright
I've been trying to track down exactly which church in Barcelona this is...it wasn't too far from the Gothic quarter (it may have been in it), but it's not the Gothic cathedral...any suggestions welcomed! (Thanks to Darrell Godliman who's pinpointed it as Eglesia de Santa Maria del Pi.)
Heart-felt night in a Spanish Street
Made by Daria Angeli
November, Barcelona. I came over here to visit a friend, and he immediately introduced me to the famous Spanish movida. After a whole weekend of social gatherings, bars, barra libre and dancing, a narrow street in the Raval caught my eye: a big lit-up heart hanging in the sky.
Spain - Barcelona - Ramblas Umbrella shop - B&W crop
Made by Darrell Godliman
I given this photo of a Las Ramblas landmark a monochrome Topaz Adjust / Difused treatment as the Topaz PS plug-in works particularly well on metalwork and stonework. As usual it's pulled so much detail out of the cast iron dragon and the buildings in the background.
