A few days of Barcelona sunshine and 38 degree heat and the UK summer seems rather chilly! I had a brilliant time in the city and took plenty of pictures of the scenery. The Gaudi architecture was even more amazing in person than any of the pictures do justice and I fell totally in love with the amazing Sagrada Familia.

I took quite a few pics using my new gorillapod and have to say that it was pretty good. That said a word of warning if you get one yourself.. I was set up with it mounted on a signpost while I took some pictures of a colourful building in the gothic quarter when I was ambushed by amazed Japanese tourists who were all studying the gorillapod. The next thing I know they are taking pictures of me using it! Needless to say my girlfriend was mortified! So if you do get a gorillapod.. keep a keen eye out for any Japanese tourists or you might just end up as a tourist attraction yourself!

I’ll be working on the photos for the next few weeks to get me warmed up for War and Peace. I can see it being a very busy show this year! At least it shouldn’t be any hotter than the last few days!
