Rainy Weekend in Barcelona

We had have been wanting to visit Barcelona for some time now and finally made it for a long weekend, but unfortunately, unlike in all the pictures I've seen of this great city, we had rain and pretty cold weather every day, almost all day long. Still, in between the downpours we've managed to see some of the city, especially the marvelous architecture by Antonio Gaudí and other Modernisme architects.

you made the most of the subdued light; actually, I think it helped you with the soft tones to bring out the textures ~V

For a rainy weekend you did a lot and photographed a lot. A great photographic success I'd say.

Sometimes rain is not an handicap for photographers...it allow us to have a better light than bright sun. The proof is in your gallery. I like the photos taken in La Boqueria market very much

The rain didn't influence the quality of your pictures at all! And the spring is ofcourse the best time to visit Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia is on top of my list right now. ((c:\|
