Plaja S'Arenella and Sa Costa des Camps d' en Gasanyes, Spain

Clyde photographed this boat almost every day. On this day the boat was in a perfection location and the weather cooperated for a wonderful photograph.

We had driven around the Cadaques/Port Lligat area for several days in beautiful sunny weather. Clyde took a few photographs, but with the arrival of the Tramuntana wind and a sky filled with dynamic clouds, Clyde was excitedly taking pictures that he felt had feeling and dimension in them.

We had discovered two more areas with possibilities for environmental photographs the Plaja S'Arnella and Sa Costa des Camps d' en Gasanyes. Both areas were near Cadaques, which was convenient. The fantastic textures in both of these locations were amazing. Photographic opportunities were everywhere, and what made it all even better was the perfect light, and even though it was extremely windy, rocks don't move! So, photography was a joy.

Clyde photographed this section from both above the cliff and below it. The shape of the trees, surrounded by such great texture was hard to resist.

As we moved down the coast a little ways, the storm began to clear. The light was still good at Sa Costa des Camps d’ en Gasanyes, so Clyde continued to photograph.

This is the great rock that sits at the entrance to the bay. It has an amazing name, which I have never been able to pronounce, Es Cucurcuc.

We dashed from place to place all day trying to capture scenes before the Tramuntana wind blew the clouds away. By late afternoon we were ready for a break, so this time, we ALL went back to the hotel to rest.

The next day Jackie, Clyde and I took a walk around town. When Clyde saw the church on the hill, he knew he had to photograph it. He rarely photographs architecture, but this church is seen in many of Dali’s paintings. Clyde dashed back to the hotel to get his camera, and then photographed the church.

There are so many wonderful intriguing alleyways. I was surprised to see a replica of the Statue of Liberty down town, but later I understood that the Spanish state of Catalonia was trying to secede from Spain and become it’s own country.

After lunch we heard music in the streets and headed in that direction. We found out it was the Resurrection Sunday Easter Pascaul Parade! Everyone was dressed up in costumes, with many families included. It wasn’t a wild party, it was actually just a fun time for everyone. There were several groups who were celebrating the state of Catalonia. It seemed everyone was flying a Catalonia State flag. We didn’t realize at the time that Catalonia was trying to secede from Spain. As I look back on the parade the people’s enthusiasm for creating their own country was a joy to be seen. And, in case you don’t know, it failed. Spain would not let Catalonia leave Spain.
