In Ciutadela

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

I visited the city of Ciutadela twice during our recent holiday in Menorca. The first time was withe my wife, although we didn’t stay long, instead catching the bus across the island to the current capital, Mahon (or Mao as it appears on all the signs).

The second visit I made solo, leaving my wife to read her book beside the swimming pool, while I took the bus so I could explore and take photographs.

I took a whole bunch during this visit, both on film and digital, and below are a few of the latter, taken on the gorgeous (and quiet) backstreets of the city’s old town area. Interestingly, almost all my pictures in this part of the city are in portrait orientation, suiting the narrow streets, I think.

I still have a bunch more photos to share from the trip to Menorca, but I haven’t even started scanning the film photos yet!

In Mahon

Another quick post this evening as my son and daughter-in-law have been to visit and have only just left.

So, a digital photo I took when we took a trip to Mahon while we were in Menorca. There’s something vaguely Richard Scarry-esque about it. I feel. Maybe Gold Bug is hiding in the scene somewhere. 🙂

Making do

As Flickr seems to be having considerable issues today due to the significant AWS outage, I’m uploading a picture directly for a change.

I’ve just picked something I shot a week ago on my trip to Mablethorpe – the place where The Cut, empties into the North Sea via a concrete outfall. It’s another of those things that I’ve photographed on numerous occasions, but the light is quite nice here.

Scene from a bridge

Another quick post this evening as, this time, I’ve just got back from a trip to the seaside.

So here’s a digital shot I took this morning from the bridge across the River Trent in Gainsborough. I took a film shot from the same location, which I hope will turn out as nicely.

I cropped it to a 6×17 ratio, so it’ll probably look nicer if you click through to the Flickr version.

A figure by a lighthouse

A quick post this evening as I’ve just got back from the cinema (where I saw TRON Ares, which I enjoyed a lot).

Here’s another digital shot from our recent trip to Menorca. This is the Far d’Artrutx lighthouse on the south-western tip of the island. The woman in the shot was there by happenstance, but I think her presence adds a lot to the picture.

Outside a supermarket at blue hour

I spent the last week in Menorca with my wife (I pre-scheduled the posts with the half-frame pictures that have been popping up over the past seven days – I have a bunch more of those and mean, at some point, to post my thoughts on the camera I used to take them).

While we were away, I shot a couple of rolls of film and also took a bunch of pictures with my little Ricoh compact digital camera too, which I’m starting to post-process. Here’s one of them…

In an airport

A couple of edited (and cropped) candid shots that I took while waiting to board our flight home from Barcelona just before Christmas last year.

Sometimes it’s good to sit on pictures for a decent length of time. You see them differently and sometimes find things you like which were previously overlooked.
