Week 8 - Barcelona (aftermath)

We were hoping for some spring in Barcelona. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain and low temperatures (though it was a lot warmer then in Denmark - and no snow!!). Only the last couple of days, the temperature was increasing and the sun came through, so we took a walk along the beautyful beach of Barcelona and got some spring-feelings. Barcelona Beach, Barcelona, Spain.

Week 6 - Barcelona (preparations)

This week we were preparing for our short-trip to Barcelona. My personal preparation was reading the fantastic book "La Catedral del Mar" by Idelfonso Falcones de Sierra in the weeks up to our holidays. It's the story of Arnau Estagnol, who was deeply involved in the building of the Santa Maria del Mar-church in the 14th century. The photo shows a part of this giant cathedral. Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.

Week 4 - Full moon over the Sound

Last week I read a note in the newspaper, that the moon will be full on Saturday. It was also written that it will be extra-ordinary big, because right now the moon is quite close to the Earth.

So I went down to the beach and took a couple of photos of the rising moon, mirroring in the Øresund - the Sound between Denmark and Sweden. The illuminated ship is the ferryboat from Copenhagen to Oslo (Norway). Bellevue beach, north of Copenhagen, Denmark.
