Beautiful Barcelona — Take a Walk — Carol’s Little World

Had you asked me several years ago where I wanted to visit, where I wanted to go, which city or place in the world was highest on my bucket list, my answer would have been a resounding, “Barcelona!” I have wanted to go to Barcelona for a long, long time. A big fan of quirky architecture, often photographing “drunken buildings” (as reflected or <a href="https://blog.carolslittleworld.com/2020/10/sunlight-on-bell-tower/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">otherwise</a>) experiencing the architecture of famed Catalan master Antoni Gaudi was at the top of my bucket list. It was one of those places I have wanted to visit for a long time and, if I am being frank, never thought I would get to see firsthand. Sometimes last year, I was approached by a photography gallery in Barcelona about doing an exhibition of my work. I was excited and jumped at the opportunity, but still never expected to experience the city firsthand. Most of the times these exhibitions, you see, wind up with me at some packing/mailing type of store, shipping my precious photographs in packing crates and a lot of peanuts for protection. I seldom get to visit the places myself, but my artwork? Now, that has been to many a cool place. I expected Barcelona to be no different. Luckily, I was wrong. <a href="https://medium.com/@cschiraldi_73150/beautiful-barcelona-take-a-walk-carols-little-world-470665dc6105">Website</a>
