Description
I grew bored walking around Barcelona taking snaps here, drinking an absinthe there, some tapas, then more touristy snaps. Oh, this isn't to say that Barcelona is boring. Far from it. Probably one of the most inspirational cities I've been in. But, it's just I kept thinking of how times most of the beautiful sites had been photographed by millions of photographers.So, I decided to focus my lens on the everyday mundane elements of Barcelona. Just for an hour or so... I wasn't going to shoot anything the rest of the tourists were shooting. I was going to focus on the real subliminal texture of the place.
This and the other 2 Barcelona images were taken of some rusted plates on the sidewalk near the shipyard of Barcelona, Spain.

Well, around the shipyards in Barcelona there's LOADS of rusted metal... so something like this doesn't really stand out much if you live there. But, isolate it, juice it up a bit, and snap a photo of it, and it's sorta nice I think. Thanks!
