The beer of Barcelona in Nottingham

A shot of a street café. The sun umbrellas indicate it might be Barcelona (Estrella the beer of Barcelona), but rest assured this is NOT Barca'....it is a bank holiday weekend in Nottingham and the weather is very heavy showers and thunderstorms followed by bright sun !

The shot shows the sun with puddles and bright lighting. The man drinking his coffee and chillaxing is a lone figure on a wet patio at the 'Nottingham Contemporary' arts centre café

I'll be enjoying some cerveza and rioja next week en España, so I'll see you all soon !

Getting in the mood, Phil! Nice shot - and how much better will it be with the real thing?! Have a great time!

@tishpics thanks Patricia, i'm sure i'll have some nice images to share with you all :)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

@phil_howcroft It adds to the holiday! Look forward to seeing them.

@phil_howcroft Phil, you might like to know I am now at last learning to abandon my auto mode and play around with my controls, such as ISO, white balance etc etc. not as scary as I thought! Quite satisfying in fact (when I'm not panicking)!

[Phil Howcroft]

@tishpics well done patricia, one step at a time, no need to rush, just go as fast or slow as you ned to :)

[Kerri]

Cool shot.

[Pat Knowles]

You can't see the puddles they just look like different coloured flags so I would definitely think it was Barcelona!!! The guy has a little pie hat on so quite trendy for a Nottingham cafe..you must be cutting edge in your town!!!! Have a great holiday in sunny Spain with lots of sunny beach shots.

[Allison Williams]

[Sue Wilde]

Have a super holiday Phil. I'll look forward to your shots

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh have a fab time - not as exotic as Nottingham obvs ;0) Like the patterns in this shot - he was brave if he stayed there with the lightening flashing.

[Paula]

Great candid!

[Sue]

Love the puddles & solitary figure!

[Robin Mersh]

Another great candid shot - how do you see them? - The hat the guy is wearing even adds to the continental feel of the shot - I would have bet money (not really) that it was not in England
