Was it worth the walk?

When we visited Blanes during our holiday to Lloret de Mar, we caught a bus to get there. During the journey, as we were leaving the centre of Lloret, I noticed from the bus window a restaurant which was closed up and had a lot of hazard warning tape across the entrance. I’m not sure what had happened to the restaurant for this to be the case, but I made a mental note of it, thinking I might walk there another day and take a photograph.

And I did.

I’m not sure it was worth the walk though. It’s an ok picture for what it is, but I had hoped the hazard tape might have been more prominent. Instead it kinda fades into the background a little and you have to look for it. Still, it was exercise if nothing else.

This location had a lot of potential for interesting pictures, the mirrored tiles on the curved overhang casting all sorts of interesting reflections. It’s a location which, had I been there alone, I would have spent some time working to try and find the best shots.

This sort of activity isn’t really possible when I’m with someone else though, as I quickly become conscious that I’m keeping that person (my wife in this case, with little interest in photography) hanging around and I begin to feel selfish. It’s why I almost always prefer solo photography.

While my wife is not a photographer, she did spot this scene at the same time as me and commented that it would make a good picture. Perhaps I’m rubbing off on her. 🙂

We walked past this place selling dumplings on a number of occasions while in Barcelona (although we didn’t get chance to purchase any). I thought it made for a nice picture.

Something good that happened today…

I’m still struggling to find something to put in this section on some days. I did have some good personal news, but it’s not something I want to talk about on here, so I’m clutching at straws a little otherwise. I think that the fact I tend to worry about things a lot can mean the good stuff gets obscured.

So I’m going to go with my weight. Not that it’s great – I’m overweight and at least a half-stone over what I was back in the autumn – but I’m still over a stone lighter than I was this time last year and, while my weight is not really dropping much at present (still some Christmas treats hanging around the house that need to be defeated!), it’s not increasing either, which bodes well for when I make a proper effort to get it under control soon. Hopefully I might hit my target this year!
