SCAVENGING IN BARCELONA.....

......not literally, you understand.....but for RINDA'S  Summer Scavenger Hunt. 


One of Kirsty's friends was with us when we found the first two...she was totally bemused by my excitement, and Kirsty tried to explain about my picture-taking 'illness' as she refers to it! 


The first opportunity came totally out of the blue..and was one of the pictures I thought may be hard for me to get.......


NUMBER 16- A BRIDE



We were just walking across one of the main squares, when one of the Tourist Buses drove along, with a bevvy of brides on the top deck! Of course, I realise that they are not actually brides per se, but it was too good a photo opportunity to miss!

The second picture I HAD  been on the lookout for:

NUMBER 18- A MOVIE POSTER


Of course, no trip  to  Barcelona would be complete without the obligatory snap of LA SAGRADA FAMILIAR, which gives me NUMBER 6-a historical landmark.....I could of course, have used it for No.17(a church), but will use our local one for that I think.





Now I will concentrate on the items nearer home...I'm now thinking the maze, labyrinth or trail and the pier may be my greatest challenges now, but we shall see.

If you're playing along,which item do you anticipate being the most difficult to find?

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

    My friend's daughter is getting married in August so I have high hopes for 'bride'! Although I cannot compete with a busload of brides! Love the Sagrada Familia, that certainly qualifies as a historic building.
    Picture taking illness - what a cheek!

    I think you must win when it comes to landmarks, and those brides are hysterical. What a hoot.

    Really enjoying your scavenger hunt photographs. The brides on top of the bus are brilliant. What a find! So envious of your sunshine. There was no flaming June, the nearest I have got to it is by lighting the fire... x

    I love your busful of brides Alison:o) I managed a candid shot of the bride at the evening reception we went to last weekend. I was worried she may have changed out of her wedding dress as seems to be the trend these days, but luckily she hadn't.

    I guess I have the same illness as you, although I have not informed my family of the scaveng hunt I am doing! That movie poster is probably the same as the one I will be getting as it is the main one on the bus stops

    Great captures Alison! I know the bride one is going to stump me unless I get really lucky.

    Oh what a lucky girl you are - I think the bride is going to be my most difficult. I've posted 2 & captured 2 more last night, so I need to get those photos uploaded. Great job!!!

    Great photos! The pier would be really easy for me as I am only 10 miles from Southend!

    It is JUST stunning. We drove past very quickly many years ago and it was just a big blur. One day...

    Great catch on the brides--and if they weren't brides that day, I'm sure most of them will be one day! Good luck on your scavenger hunt!

    Great photos....and I love how Kirsty calls the photo taking an 'illness'...may just be using that line to the hubby when he complains that the camera is pointing at him again lol

    Hahaha - I love that Kirsty refers to your "illness"!!!! Great captures too...
