I neglected to mention this is Barcelona.

Thanks, Pnina. This is an adobe brick church about 5 miles south of Taos, New Mexico. It has been painted and photoed by many people, even made famous in a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, and etchings by the lesser-known but equally talented Gene Kloss. Even my mother painted the church! This man is one of the voluteers helping to resurface the adobe, a task necesary every two or three years. The church is much loved.

What 'category' does this fall into?

One of Gaudi's projects, sightseers gather here to view Barcelona
below while enjoying the park's unique paths and imaginative
structures.

Comments welcome. Thanks for visiting

Some mysterious (to me) machinery as seen from the river (Ria de Bilbao, Spain) near the Bay of Biscay. I have no idea how this works, perhaps that is why it caught my eye.
-
How often we find good moments needing a good frame. Well, you found one here, the contrast between animation and immobility, inside and outside, light and dark. Outstanding image!
-
The shutteres are so well displayed that I wonder if you arrange so. Many have tried to capture this sort of feeling of an old neighborhood but you have succeeded. Color treatment is genius.
-
This evokes strong feelings, in part because it recalls so many Chinese paintings of misty mountain scenes. You have added a modern eye and technique to this tradition.
-
I like the way you have contrasted both light and distance. The light especially effective in the way you have combined sharp contrast and subtle gradations.
-
I must confess that I took this soon after viewing a show of Martin Parr's art in Barcelona, where I learned that the sightseers sometimes make a better photo than the sights.

When visiting a Gaudi building, always go to the roof, where he often gave freely of his sculptural/architectural imagination.
-
A much photographed cross on the roof of Gaudi's Casa Batllo. This roof is a garden of photographers' delights.
-
Though not actually in Spain, Biarritz lies in French Basque country, associated with the adjoining Pais Vasco of Spain and was part of a tour I took, primarily of the latter.
-
This photo of the Guggenheim in Bilbo (Bilbao) from across the river is hardly original, but I think I caught good light just at sunset, which I tweaked through tonemapping.
-
The Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar dominates its surroundings, here seen from a bridge on the River Ebro.
-
I couldn't resist adding some of my views of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbo (Bilbao), Spain the the millions, perhaps billions of photos of this remarkable creation of Frank Gehry.

This shows the back of an impressive bronze depicting a soldier dragging Loyola from a battle in Pamplona. It is located near the visitor's entrance to the Santuario de Loiola, a large complex built in memory of the founder of the Jesuit order.
-
Sixteenth century building has several pilasters covered with sculptures. This building in Oñati now houses the Institute of Juridical Sciences.
-
Of the many delightful sights in the Parc de la Ciutadella, I found this old tree most compelling. I would be happy to know what kind of tree this is.
-
Ordinarily I don't pay much attention to titles, but this photo is aptly named. I paused, looked, relaxed, and smiled. Thank you.
-
I stared at this amazing picture for a long time. One of the most exciting photos I've seen. The essence of movement.
Haven't posted on Photo.net for some time and you were the last person to comment on a photo of mine so I took a quick look at your work and I found a real treasure trove. Would love to have you see some of my new additions.

Love this photo. It has so much life--it makes me happy. Thanks.

How do you persuade insects to interact perfectly in a perfect setting? This is definitely a world-class picture. I assume it has won awards.

Been awhile, Mel, are you active at photo.net? I like this pic--might look good upside down.
