For this week’s Monochrome Madness, This week’s host Brian of Bushboy’s World has asked us to consider Street lights. I assembled a clutch of them, and realised that they all come from Spain.
The featured photo was taken one evening near our hotel in Seville. This next batch all come from Cádiz.




… and one of them is merely a shadow of a streetlight.
Off to Málaga now, just after Christmas.

Another one from Seville …

And the city I know best, Barcelona? Well, not a single night time shot. Instead, here are two taken in broad daylight.


I’m away for a few days, so this post, and the next few are scheduled. So – sorry – I may be slow in commenting, and even slower at reading your posts.
Happy travels! Isn’t Cadiz simply grand? That second photo is my favourite xx

European cities seem to have the best streetlights, based on my totally unscientific trawl of my own archives! These are lovely examples 🙂

they were fine as is – I just realized that black and white do not always show some elements of time – so I really liked them a lot
