Barcelona

Earlier this year I got to go to Barcelona for the day. Yes a whole day. Not fair is it?

Even worse was that the flight was delayed, so no chances for photos before work, and the customer had plenty of work for me so no photos at lunchtime.

The result? Time only for 2 photos while walking to the taxi stand. And that was after the sun had gone down.


So here's the Gaudi building at night.

Dublin

Had an evening in Dublin, and in the few hours of reasonable light got a few photos.



The bridges on the Liffey feature of course.

There is so much building, as you can see from this panorama

From Dublin, Ireland

I was impressed with the GasWorks. Nice conversion!

Clouds above London

Hi above London, while in the hold for Heathrow... as the sun is setting

High Above Switzerland

Went to Zurich the other day, and at this time of the year the cloud tends to be low-lying in the valleys.

From Above Switzerland

As we climbed to cruising altitude got some nice views of the whole of Switzerland below. As we passed Basel the land gets less mountainous in the distance, the clouds get smoother, and the appearance is almost like the twilight cliffs and water.

Mulberry - Arromanche / Gold Beach

From Bayeux and Arromanche / Gold Beach

The beach at Arromanche / Gold Beach has some old decaying military relics, left over from the 2nd World War.

Its a powerful and bizarre juxtaposition, the holiday makers playing on the beach among the concrete, exercising their freedoms won by events that left the relics.

Read about them at wikipedia.
