getting started, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

This is the every day start for the restaurants in Plaзa Reial.

Plaзa Reial - Royal Plaza- is a square in the Barri Gтtic of Barcelona. It lies next to la Rambla and constitutes a well-known touristic attraction, especially at night. On the square are a large number of restaurants and some of the city's most famous clubs including Sidecar, Jamboree or Karma. It is also known for its many outdoor areas and is a popular meeting place during the summer, La Mercи in September, when open air concerts take place, and during other celebrations such as New Year's Eve, often being really crowded.

The Plaзa Reial was designed by Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajу in the 19th century. The square is twinned with Plaza Garibaldi, in Mexico DF. The lanterns were designed by Antoni Gaudн. It ought not be confused with Plaзa del Rei, also in the Barri Gтtic.

Hello Daniel,
An agreeable daily life composition with the waiter setting out the tables, which will no doubt be full in a few hours. The oblique point of view works well, adding to the sense of dynamism. Very good sharpness.

Salut Daniel!

Fara indoiala, punctele alea rosii sunt highlight-ul acesei poze. Leaga cumva toate nuantele astea de alb si gri si le da viata. Imi place mult!!

Numai bine
Adrian

Hello Daniel,
beautiful photo of the Plaza Real, where the day begins early in the morning.
With clean and wet soil, restaurants start setting up tables.
Good frame and color.

Hello Daniel!
Pleasant genre. Good to see that people, not just roam the city during the day, but less busy times. This is Barcelona's Gothic quarter, as I think.
Sincerely,
Csaba

Salut,

Si mie mi-a placut foarte mult acest cartier vechi al Barcelonei. Buna compozitia cu surprinderea acestei linisti dinaintea furtunii.

Seara buna!
