Purple Street Art / Urban Graffiti

This is the third example of urban graffiti or street art from Barcelona that I wanted to share with you. All three were taken along the same stretch of wall near the harbour. What I would like to know is if any of you can work out what this word says. I would presume it would be either English or more than likely a Spanish word. The thing I like most, apart from the contrast of yellows and purples, is the way it appears to leak off the wall and onto the pavement / sidewalk.

Edinburgh’s National Monument at Night
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
This was one of my most successful night shoots of last year, on top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh in December. This is by far my favourite area of the city for photography and as much as I had been many times before this was a first at night. Having had a previous photo of…
Urban Graffiti Art in Glasgow
about 2 years ago - 1 comment
Walking along the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow I was there for one reason and one reason only, for photography! As much as the above image wasn’t the most exciting I captured that day, I really like this urban image. I think that the graffiti tags combined with the warm afternoon winter sunlight…
Go Penguins Art of Liverpool
about 2 years ago - No comments
“Go Penguins” is the new celebratory public art event taking place throughout Liverpool, St Helens and the Wirral and it really reminds me of the “Cow Parade” a few years ago in Manchester. Mark and Rachel suggested a walk around Liverpool to see and photograph a few of them. The above two were in the…
Lambrini Bottle Pattern
about 3 years ago - No comments
Lambrini is a light perry drink (similar to cider but made from peaches). Personally it isn’t something I drink, but a couple of the people I live with in a student flat really enjoy their drink (as you can see). So rather than throw the bottles away, I thought it would be an interesting experiment…
Casa Batlló Building, Barcelona
about 3 years ago - No comments
Out of the examples of Gaudi’s work that I have photographed so far, this is one of the most awkward, because of the buildings placement in the city of Barcelona. With a long lens you can capture its extraordinary details, but to get the full frontal view is almost impossible without many distracting elements. Standing…
Gaudi Architectural Detail at Park Guell
about 3 years ago - No comments
Gaudi spent years of his life designing and working on Park Guell in the city of Barcelona. So much so he lived in a house in the grounds. The detailing pictured here is above one of the small windows of this house. At the time I was chilling out on a bench after a hard…
Skull Fresh Graffiti in Barcelona
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
Since photographing some great examples of graffiti in Manchester and Salford, I was keeping my eyes open for walls of Barcelona’s street art that I had heard so much about. Here I used a 18mm wide angle lens, so I could get nice and close to the walls and not get trees or street furniture…
La Rambla – Barcelona
about 3 years ago - No comments
La Rambla is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona, popular with both tourists and locals alike. Obviously coming to this city to photograph of much of it as I could, La Rambla was near the top of my list. However with the angle of the sun and tall buildings on either side of…
Barcelona Harbour

Getting up the hilly areas around cities such as Edinburgh, or in this case Barcelona, can be hard work, especially with a lot of heavy camera gear in 30 degree heat, but it was worth the effort for the above photo. This view of Barcelona’s Harbour was taken from edge of the Gardens of Joan…
Font Màgica fountain in Orange
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
Flying to a new city such as Barcelona with today’s low baggage weight meant that taking a large and heavy tripod in my suitcase was a hard decision to make. That was until I found out I was going to have a chance to see the wonderful Font Màgica (magic fountains) outside the Palau Nacional…
