the sun-drenched barrio in alicante

April 23, 2012

DSC_4731

my sister is living in alicante, spain, which is where we started our adventure.

there's an area of the city called the barrio. it's below a castle (a castle high on a hill) and is full of flowers and plazas and doors and windows that are surrounded by colors and patterns.

i took this picture as we hiked down from the castle. it is a little over-exposed, but when i looked at it, it reminded me of how it felt to be there in the warm and bright sunshine.

    gorgeous!
    i actually thought this was a painting when i first saw it, before reading your description!
    the overexposure then is perfect!
    fun!…
    one more exclamation point…!

    I thought you over-exposed it on purpose. Great effect

  3. Love it! We spent 2 weeks on the Costa del Sol back in 1990…. so lovely, brings back memories! So glad you got this chance to go there!!

  4. Imagaine…living in Alicante…*swoon*… ;o) LOVE the bright light, you can feel the warmth and dazzling. This image will be great to have to look back on on a dull winter day. Later this week we’ll away in Vienna for a few days. See you soon again in blogland, Elizabeth! :o) ((HUGS))
