Inside Barcelona Cathedral

Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia or the Barcelona Cathedral is the central church of Barcelona and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona. This large Gothic church dates from between the 13th to 15th Century. The church is dedicated to Eulalia, a patron of the city and a martyr from Roman times.

Chirk Aqueduct and Viaduct

As seen from Pontcysyllte aqueduct. The aqueduct is not visible in this picture but the arches that can be seen are of the railway viaduct over the Dee.. This viaduct was built between 1846-8 by Henry Robertson. The viaduct stands 100 feet tall and towers about 30 feet over the Chirk aqueduct that carries the Llangollen canal.

Llangollen in HDR

Just last week I made a mad dash from Cambridge to Chester and then on to Llangollen to visit some family. As I wasn’t anticipating a day of photography, I left all my lenses barring the walkabout Tamron 18-250. Llangollen is a pretty little town in North Wales probably best known for the Llangollen steam railway and the Llangollen canal that passes over the River Dee on the Pontcysyllte aqueduct.

Dramatic Skies

I recently returned from a visit to Michigan, where one evening the skies put on a dramatic show of the myriad colours contained in natures palette.
