Easter 2010 – Barcelona

Another trip, made in April this year. “Children in Barcelona” was the starter, and now the Whole Trip to Barcelona is on line, as the main course.

Four days, few quarters, many kilometers walked through the city. About sixty photos, here (over more than 360 made), less correlated each other than any trip. I . . . → Read More: Easter 2010 – Barcelona

Another stage of the Sweden’s journey – The Göta Kanal

Note: The holiday is on line!
In the “trip” category, starting from THIS LINK

In a trip in southern Sweden, one of the charatheristic sights is the Göta Kanal.
Built in the late XIX Century, this 190Km long canal has boon its importance to link the Vättern lake to the Baltic Sea.

We met a pair of the 58 locks, where we could admire the perfection of the engineering works, opposed to the complete inability of the tourists to manage it.
The result was funny…

Undoubtedly, the locks are a good subject for the photos…

Summer trip 2009 – Sweden

Note: The photos in this post are replicated in the Trip’s Pages, in “Sweden Summer 2009” section

Let’s start the summer holiday’s trip!

Of course, not in this very moment… but this is the first gallery to describe the trip Francesca and I had last summer.
It began in a outstanding night, the day before last Francesca’s birthday.
From Grenaa’s harbour, by ferry, til Varberg, in Sweden.

One of the brightest summer’s nights.
We waited briefly for the ferry, at eleven o’clock PM:

A new section: “The Trips”

As you can see on the top of the page, I’ve added a new section: The Trips.

As I’ve explained i that page, there are especially galleries, all from my trips. A kind of “travel notebook“, by images. The idea, for this section, is to have a “Summary” of the whole photo selection from . . . → Read More: A new section: “The Trips”

London’s users

In the third part of the trip, we meet the “users“.
Not simple tourists, nor people who only walk around.

But who use what London offer: museums, exhibitions and shops.
Every time “captured” in the very moment when they look, chose, admire and… are surprised.

Another BW photos, taken with the “normal” lens, except a pair of wide views, in which the low end of the zoom was very useful.

Let’s start, in the National Geographic’s store (in Regent’s St.).
A lot of nice photos, and more visitors.

London’s people

This is the second selection from our little London’s Easter holyday (as introduced in the London’s soul).
Organizing the photos, I’ve discovered I had taken only people’s images.
It’s very uncommon for me. More often my photos exclude every human being.

But, here… Another people’s images, still londoners.
Maybe here I’m able to describe better the different kind of human beings that is possible to meet in London.

The City is one of the world financial’s hearts (and of the world’s crisis, of course).
There you can find people like him…
