dangermousieI keep promising to post photos I take on my trips but never do. Well, finally, here are pictures from my and Husband's trip to Spain, last May. Behind the cut are a few pictures I took in Cordoba, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.

More than anything, I loved Cordoba's narrow streets:
Inside the Cordoba Mesquita:

One of the innumerable nooks and crannies of the city:
A very Bollywood-looking courtyard:

Date: 2006-02-27 05:54 pm (UTC)I am a crazy shutter bug (I took 1300 pictures in Spain) but the pain of dl them on a web host is huge because it takes forever and I have to shrink them as well :)

Date: 2006-02-27 06:05 pm (UTC)There's no architecture with colour and character like that in the United States. It was an age and place that had already passed when our country was born, and it's so beautiful to see these pictures.

I also think most places in the US aren't sunny enough for colors like this. I love looking at them when it's cold and dreary here, though.

Date: 2006-02-27 06:12 pm (UTC)You have a great eye for a good shot!
Thank you *blush*. I am addicted to taking pictures. My Dad is a huge photography nut and I think it's genetic. Husband mocks me because I always carry a camera and stop every three feet to take a pic. He says they can reconstruct Bruges from the amount of shots I took :)

Date: 2006-02-27 08:53 pm (UTC)I think the genes carry over... you might have noticed my own photographical excursions, and dad is horrible when it comes to photos... 14 rolls of film of our California vacation! In Quebec he had a videocamera, and it got so bad that mom and I threatened to take it away if he didn't put it down. (Though that's different... the urge to document is not the same as the creative instinct of framing and taking an interesting photo.)

Date: 2006-02-27 06:24 pm (UTC)And again - these photographs are fantastic, really professional, do you use particular camera (silly question, but i am thinking to get one . I never was interested in photography before, but i feel like now it is THE time )

Date: 2006-02-27 06:36 pm (UTC)The camera I used for these shots is a simple Olympus digital camera (make sure to get any digital cmaera with at least 3x optical (NOT digital) zoom and 4MP otherwise the quality will be unacceptable.
I prefer my non-digital Nikon camera because the quality is so much better and I can do a lot more manual control stuff with it but that camera is huge and heavy because of the lenses (I could murder someone with it), and of course you don't have the advantage of either digitally uploading or seeing if the shot came out. And of course with the amount of pics I take, the film gets to be really expensive. So when I travel it's a trade-off.

Date: 2006-02-27 09:11 pm (UTC)The rooftop view was actually from the roof of our hotel which had a little place to sit and read. It seems we were the only people in the hotel (it was very small and not the tourist season) so it was great.
Btw, read your Casanova post and so glad you liked it. I thought it was a fun, fluffy movie. Though I do think Heath Ledger in powder and heels = hot :)
