Ode to Barcelona  by brigette

Ode to Barcelona

My very first get pushed challenge - thanks to @sianipops Nita! My challenge was to browse my 'Favs' and choose an image or two that says something to me.... I've chosen to try (try being the word here!) to mirror the exquisite images of @wind_of_the_sothern_sea - I really really! love his images - sometimes hypnotic and meditative. I decided not to over work this.. but may have another go later in the week! Thanks Arefin for the inspiration!!

The book is Shadow of the Wind, (Set in old Barcelona)- by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and is a highly recommended read. The flower - almost all I had at hand - Scarlet O'Hara Bourgainvillea

thanks for dropping by :)

Beautiful softness and that vivid colours goes very well with it

@brigette somehow I missed this alert yesterday, glad I found it today! Well done, really awesome response to my challenge and I would've have figured whose work you admired and imitated - he does have a wonderful style and elegance to his images and you did a great job portraying that!
@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Your images are standouts and I am not surprised that in my challenge to Brigette that she picked an image of yours as a fav and to emulate.

Hi Bridgette, I saw this on Flashback Friday and had to come fav. Beautiful.
