Uh...?
A building I came across in Vigo, Spain. We'll assume it's either a condemned building, or at least unused...

Market day
It's market day in Getaria, northern Spain. Taking the photo from a higher vantage point gives a different view, but the colorful fruit alone makes my mouth water... :)
Sunset
The presence of a few clouds in the right place always enhances the sunset. Taken at sea, for the coast of the Canary island of La Gomera.

Fishing
A slightly dizzying aerial view of someone fishing on the coast of Gran Canaria. Taken from the walkway running along the cliff at a higher level.

Moon over Gran Canaria
Loved the contrast of the half moon, the green of the palm tree and the blue of the sky over the island of Gran Canaria.
Disappearing road
A photo taken from the passenger seat of a moving car. I liked how the road seemed to be swallowed up by the mountains (lava flows from the Teide volcano on Tenerife, Canaries).
And to demonstrate how it would look converted to black and white:

Sun flare
As a general rule, it's not a good idea to photograph against the sun. In this particular case, I think the sun flare adds a little something to the photo.

Parasailing
View from my hotel balcony in Gran Canaria... All I had to do was break out the camera and snap pictures.

Spray
Big waves rolling in from across the full breadth of the Atlantic Ocean finally end on the rocky coast of the island of Lanzarote in a curtain of spray.

Trees
For some reason, these trees in the Picos mountains in Spain all decided to grow sideways for a bit before going up....
Park Güell
I liked the pattern these columns formed in Park Güell, Barcelona. Took some patience to capture it "people-less": it was Mayday, which is a holiday in Spain, so lots of Barcelonians were out and about as well as the tourists.
Entry tags:
Beach umbrellas
Beach umbrellas under a partly cloudy sky in Lanzarote. Cropped to a widescreen format to cut out some of the not-too-interesting sky. The lone seagull kinda finishes the pic for me.

Plane over Santander
I enjoyed how I managed to capture this departing plane leaving Santander, Spain, despite the rather hazy conditions.
