Finding something unique in the thickly touristed areas of a place is always a bit difficult, even taxing, for me. I have some profound fear of appearing to be just another gawker wielding a black machine that clicks. I do document my surroundings of course, building on my ever-expanding visual diary, but that’s different than my aesthetic work (certainly at times there is crossover).
So this is Barcelona proper, seen from a winding road that traffics herds of double-decker tour buses to the view. Shot through an aggressively strong iron fence with posts placed just wide enough to sneak my lens through.
There’s a strangeness to it. We cannot see the field (it might have been a pool) this seating overlooks. I see it as a skewed map on which I can chart my perhaps 15 miles of walking in my two days there.
