Streets of Barcelona
Walking around Barcelona is easy and there are many alleyways and streets to explore. There are buildings, parks, street art and many other attractions. There is so much to see and on a day out in this wonderful city, I took to the streets to see what I could find. I will definitely go back …
Van Gogh – Alive!

Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
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! …

Best of Bruges: Water
My best photographs of the waterways in Bruges. I can’t resist walking along canal banks to experience a different side to a city 🙂 Away from the crowds, I found being near the canals really calming – maybe that’s why I always end up near water!

Brussels: Street Life
Whenever I go out and about, I always end up people-watching! I can sit for hours just watching everyone go about their business. In Brussels, at the end of 2019, the streets were bustling with people enjoying the new year celebrations. For more street life on the other side of the world. Love and peace …
