Print of the Month for October, 2009: Parc Collserola, Barcelona
Of all the places I photographed while in Barcelona, Parc Collserola was my favorite. Fifteen minutes out of the city on the commuter train, accessible by not one, but two funiculars, Parc Collserola covers much of Tibidabo, the large mountain to the north of the city. In fifteen days we were in Barcelona, I visited the park six times, and knew when we left that I would have to go back soon.
I remember the moment I took this picture with perfect clarity. This was actually the view behind me as I walked up the mountain. I can’t tell you exactly why I stopped and turned around when I did, but the picture was right there, exactly as you see it. I knew at the time that it that it would end up being one of my favorites from the trip, and I’m always happy when I’m right!
This month’s edition comes with an extra bonus: the secret print I mentioned a week ago. It’s really one of my favorite prints of recent memory, so I hope you enjoy it.
