I see a lot of loving in Barcelona. It's a great place to enjoy being with your loved one no matter if it's an animal or human being. #love #barcelona #photography

This is a photo of colorful kayaks at the man-made water rapids where the 1992 Olympic canoe races were held in La Seu d'Urgell. I have two brother-in-laws who live in that village. #reflections #colors #spain #photography #kayakracing

Here's a shot of the street I live on intersecting with the longest main street in Barcelona called Avenida de Diagonal that recently got chopped off because of the light rail that opened up a year ago by a new park where a huge round-a-bout used to exist. #diagonalavenue #barcelona #b&wphotography

My wife suffers with celiac disease so bakeries like this are more interesting to her since she still likes bread. Are any of you a celiac or ultra sensitive to gluten? #glutenfree #celiacdisease #photography #bakeries #barcelona #streetphotography #b&wphotos

I see these tiny electric vehicles once in awhile in Barcelona. They can park in spots designed for motorcycles. I don't know why more people don't use them here. #electricvehicles #transportation #barcelona #streetphotography #b&wphotos

There are many hilltops in and around Barcelona that provide a 360 degree view. I have several videos showing what a 360 degree view is like from one of the hilltops I have been on many times the past several years. #photography #landscapes #barcelona
