Back to the Parc del Fòrum, Barcelona

Window on the Dawn. Parc del Forum, Barcelona, 2015

I love this place. For sunrise, especially. Like I have said in a previous blog post, this would be an ideal area to bring a small group for a photography class on the “art of seeing”. The image possibilities are tremendous! I always come close to having a major indecision brain lock malfunction (MIBLM) when the light is fleeting yet good–there are just so many options from which to choose.

A couple of points I haven’t addressed in previous posts on this place:

–The park gates are not opened until 7a.m., which may not work for your summertime sunrise plans. You can still work the area around the Museu Blau, though, which isn’t bad ‘t’all (check out the weird reflective glass funnels and windows).

–I was told by a very polite security guy in a golf cart-like vehicle that I couldn’t photograph the small port where the luxury motor and sail yachts are parked–a first for me after maybe a dozen visits over the years. A security/terrorism thing, no doubt. But, there is no problem photographing the daylights out of the giant solar panel. Go figure.

–Be aware that on weekends and on holidays, special events, concerts, and so on may close down the park to normal access, especially in summer. Check Mr. Google as best you can for the schedule–perhaps THIS SITE. Or just go and see for yourself.
