barcelona

Last week I went to visit Barcelona for the day before travelling to a different part of Spain. It was an absolutely incredible city. The Food was amazing, I ate classic Spanish tapas which were delicious! So here are some pictures from the day, taken on a Canon EOS 60D, with some captions explaining my thoughts on the photos!

BARCELONA ZOO.

To be honest, Barcelona Zoo was one of the best zoos I've ever been to, they had amazing animals and great facilities, which made my experience there thoroughly enjoyable. Here are some highlights! 

PENGUINS. I need around 6 penguins as pets please and thank you.

An especially fabulous picture of a penguin.

The zebras were so super cool, it was incredible to see them in the flesh.

Flamingos are so fascinating, and for the record most of the time they're standing on two legs.

The seals were SO cute, they are very immobile out of water which is hilarious.

The meerkats were were adorable, and very willing posers.

Here's a very sweet wallaby with her baby.

ELEPHANTS. WOW. That is all.

Bison are my favourite animals, so it was extremely exciting to see them in real life for the first time.

SAGRADA FAMILA.

Well wow. The Sagrada Familia is easily one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It is a large Roman Catholic church designed by Antoni Gaudi, a catalan architect. The church is incomplete, Gaudi dedicated his last years to the project and wow. It was incredible, I can't even find the words to describe the scale of how amazing it was, I was in total and utter awe. So, here are some pictures to try and justify how insanely amazing it was for you

The style of the church is very gothic, I thought the designs looked like child had designed it, the swirling staircases and pillars each made out of a different type of stone really gave off that impression.

So yes, overall Barcelona was an amazing city, with lovely people. I had a great time and would love to go back to see more of the city when I'm not on such a tight schedule.

5 pictures i love

one

i love this picture because of the contrast in surroundings. above the cave you have what looks like a plain of desert, with warm colours, shrubs and more light. but in the cave there is much less light and its full of midnight blues and crystal clear water. basically its just a fascinating picture.

two

this picture is just amazing. there's no sentimental reason why i love this picture it's just too damn cute and who doesn't love a fluffy puppy.

three

the detail on this design is incredible, i love how each swirl stems into something new, and the idea of this is so simple yet extremely eye catching. i also love the girl's nails, the cauliflower blue matches her shorts and the single white nail looks fresh and gives a different angle to the picture.

four

i love this because it's an extremely beautiful picture of my favourite place in the world. london at night is a stunning city, yes new york has the tall skyscrapers and colourful adverts, but when the bridges and the london eye are lit up london looks almost hypnotizing. in this picture you also have the violet sunset which complements the bright lights of the city.

five

just wow. the depth of this picture is incredible, not even just literal depth, but also the thoughts that come to mind. the different shades of blue are captivating and the neon yellow flippers look almost out of place but oddly they blend in with the other colours seen here. my favourite part is the bottom of the tank, how it's so eerily dark and mysterious. imagine being that diver.

so yeah there are some pictures that i really love.
