Unless you have witnessed the Sagrada Familia for yourself, I would bet that you have never seen anything quite like this before. I said this about Park Guell, but the Sagrada Familia in on another (Gaudi) level! Antoni Gaudi was put in charge of designing this fabulous basilica in 1883 and it’s not finished yet! …
As you enter Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), you may wonder whether you will be able to find your way out. There are many narrow alleyways twisting this way and that, the only thing to do is just wander! As you walk, make sure you look all around you and upwards in case you miss …
I’d like to share my best “architecture” images from my walk around Bruges. Enjoy the views! I hope you enjoyed the architecture. Next time – Best of Bruges: Life 🙂
On a trip to Belgium in 2020, just two days into the new year, I went to Bruges for the day. It was a lovely way to spend a few hours. I loved it so much, I’m going to retrace my steps and hope that you will join me for a little tour around the …

When I lived in Bangkok, I used to walk around the city with my camera a lot. There are many things that compel me to take a photograph. It could be a distinctive architectural feature, an ornate temple or a dilapidated building. There are endless photographic subjects to be had in Bangkok and I had …

One of the best places to visit in Bangkok is the Ancient City or Muang Boran Museum. Muang Boran is the brainchild of architect Lek Viriyaphant (1914-2000) who wanted to create a space where people can learn about Thailand’s past as well as keeping the culture of Thailand alive. Lek started his project in 1963 …
On a second trip to Rotterdam in August last year, here is what I got up to with Chris – in photos. I hope you enjoyed our shenanigans 🙂
Back in Amsterdam again in August last year, Chris & I had a grand day out. Here’s what we did – in photos. I know we can’t go much further than our front doors at the moment, so I hope that these photo walks are a welcome change from all the doom and gloom. Stay …
There are some lovely sights in Amsterdam, not least the buildings and monuments and the eclectic mix of architectural styles. When in Amsterdam, I love to wander around the city. There’s always something new to see. Have you been to Amsterdam? What do you like to do?
