I made this photograph of the Plaza de España, in Barcelona, Spain, from the roof of a nearby building.
The Plaza de España was built for the 1929 International Exhibition and is one of Barcelona’s busiest and most important squares.
In the foreground, the lights of cars passing in a roundabout create dynamic streaks of colour. In the center of the traffic circle are a fountain and statues.
In the background of the photo, the Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina can be seen leading to one of Catalonia’s finest museums, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC). The streaks of eight spotlights create a corona effect in the deep blue sky.
The Avinguda also leads to the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, which can be seen as a pink glow in front of the building in the upper left. On summer evenings, crowds gather at the fountain to watch the display choreographed to classical music.
Prints of this photograph are available for purchase in any size and on any material.
