Reymon de Real PhotographyPARC GÜELL
Going through my old travel photos I found these pictures I took around Parc Güell in Barcelona, Spain. I thought I posted them ages ago but after reviewing previous blog posts I realized I have not. Parc Güell is a complex of gardens and architectural elements designed by famed architect Antoni Gaudi and was constructed from 1900 to 1914. It was officially opened as a park in 1926 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. This major Barcelona attraction was originally built as a housing development but unfortunately the project did not take off prompting the developer, Eusebi Güell, to convert it into a park. This sprawling complex is also an architect’s dreamland as it is filled with symbols inspired by politics, religion and mythology. As for photography enthusiasts, this complex requires a lot of stamina and patience….stamina for all the walking and climbing involved and patience for the throngs of tourists posing at every nook and corner of this complex. My biggest regret was not bringing my DSLR camera as I used my iPhone 7Plus to take all these photos because the idea of walking and climbing with a 3-lb camera hanging around my neck was just petrifying. I also focused my shots on the various angles, colors, curves, lines, materials and symbols around the park in order to minimize capturing the tourists scattered all over. Of all the photographs I took my favorite is the one above with the multicolored tiles and the city of Barcelona sprawled all the way towards the ocean. I only wished the weather was better that day as the gray clouds created a gloomy mood despite the colorful tiles and eccentric architecture. Barcelona is such a beautiful city with a rich history and culture so if this amazing city is in your future travel itinerary don’t forget to include Parc Güell in your must visit list.

I love this place, I want to go there…. The colors and rounded contours, the curving bench…. all of it! So inspiring! So joyous!
I get that you felt disappointed about the cloudy sky and found it gloomy, and that you might have preferred a brighter, clear day. In want to express that I love the first photograph, the clarity, luminosity and saturation of colors, the shapes of the buildings and how this all seems to come even more alive in contrast to the sky with its very rich blend of grays flowing into yellow/orange and back to gray water.
Fabulous photographs!

Thank you! Your optimism made me appreciate my photo better. Maybe next time I’d look at things differently so I’d learn to appreciate the beauty in them.
