Just a shop?
This is an ordinary shop, the type that you can find many examples of in a tourist resort, selling ice creams, drinks, snacks, toys and a whole range of things that tourists may find useful.
But it caught my eye.
I really like the way it’s framed on the street (which looks quiet because I timed my shutter press, but was actually pretty busy), the leading lines of the pedestrian crossing, the framing by the buildings at the end of the street I was on, and the splashes of red that border the shop’s entrance, the faintly-striped awning, the surrounding wall furniture in the form of windows, cabling, and the neighbouring shops.
There’s a lot of detail present in the full-size scan too and you can zoom right in and see it, demonstrating the resolution available in a 35mm frame.

Beach scenes
I expect there will be more beach scenes to come, but here’s a bunch grouped together…

Bakery van
This is probably a mundane sight to Spanish residents – it’s a delivery van for the Dulcesol baked goods business. But we don’t have Dulcesol vans in the UK, so it’s vivid red and white livery, along with the backdrop of palm trees and hotels make it a novelty and an interesting subject for a picture.
I wonder if there are Spanish photographers visiting the UK taking pictures of branches of Greggs? 🙂

Parish Church of Saint Roma
Photos of churches have featured on my blog many times. Not because I’m a religious man – I’m not – but because I find them interesting from architectural, historical, and cultural perspectives. Despite my secular nature, I can still appreciate the investment of effort, sometimes lasting centuries, that is poured into these structures to serve the faith of the, well… faithful.
Most of the churches I photograph are in the UK, because that’s where I live, but the occasional overseas example will find its way into the blog too, such as the one shown today, the impressive and colourful Parish Church of Saint Roma in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
The original church dates back to the 14th century, but the bulk of what is there now is far more recent, having been constructed last century.

Holiday brochure
When I first saw the scan of this picture, my first thought was that it looked like a photo from a holiday brochure. I remember, before it was possible to find and book trips online, that we used to have stacks of these brochures in the house when we were planning a trip, all filled with similar shots of beaches, hotels, swimming pools, and local attractions.

Narrow streets
I took quite a lot of photos looking down narrow streets while in Lloret de Mar. These are undoubtedly just average streets, the type to be found in many a Spanish town, but they are different enough to the streets I’m used to in the UK to draw my eye. A combination of the narrow widths, along with the signage in a different language make these interesting to me. I also had some lovely Mediterranean light to draw upon too.
The dog in the third picture looked friendly enough but, having been nipped on more than one occasion by friendly-looking dogs, I decided keeping some distance was prudent.

Casino
The hotel we stayed in was close to a large casino. It’s angular construction (and the way the roof was covered with artificial turf) made for some interesting subject matter.
I didn’t actually venture inside though.

Leaving on a jetplane
It’s one of those cliched pictures of an aircraft wing taken through the cabin window (well, either that, or I somehow managed to climb atop the fuselage mid-flight…).
What this indicates is that I’ll soon be posting pictures from the holiday in Spain I took with my wife at the start of June. Everybody loves to see other people’s holiday snaps, right? 😉
