[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Rambla del Mar is the modern, pedestrian extention of the famous Ramblas into the harbour and leads to the shopping center Mare Magnum. Its winding shape gives a nice contrast to the baroque building at its beginning. In the upper right corner you can see the cable car crossing the harbour.

This shot was taken from the top of the Columbus statue build at the end of the Rambles for the World Exhibition of 1888, a quite controversial statue since Columbus' "discovery" of America was the cause of the deminishing importance of Barcelona as a trading port...

Hi Guenther.

I like to see my city and my neighbourhood. I have posted picture from the same statue and were very close like this one.

Good colours & light!

Rgs, Oscar

Hallo Günther. Als ich neulich auf Business-Trip in Barcelona war, ist mir gar nicht aufgefallen, dass man auf die Spitze des Kolumbus-Denkmals rauf kann ... Naja, jedenfalls ist die Aussicht von da oben exquisit, und das Foto gefällt mir wirklich gut. Schöner Blick aufs Maremagnum und Umgebung, und vom Timing her ist es auch nicht schlecht, die Seilbahngondel in der oberen Ecke im Bild zu haben.

That is a very nice general view of that part of Barcelona. I've been there and never imagined it was possible to have such a point of view.
Your composition and control of the light, colors and sharpness are excellent.
It's nice too that you got to catch the cabin on the upper right corner. Really a good framing.
TFS,
Pascal.

Yor shot is an invitation to stroll over the water. Well composed. Congratulations.

Hi Guenther,
Sounds like you're back from holiday... This view has plenty of sun and elements to offer and is comprehensive thanks to this good overlooking PoV, your framing is tight, but everything fits in, even the tiny cable car !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Vedo che sei stato in vacanza!
Bella foto mi fa venire in mente quando anche io passeggiavo di fronte al Maremagnum... :)
ciao ciao

Bonsoir mon ami Guenther,
Vous ne pouviez pas mieux trouver comme emplacement pour prendre cette superbe prise de vue plongeante sur la ville de Barcelone.
Les détails sont extraordinaires, les couleurs superbes, le cadrage est excellent.
Bravo pour cette réalisation, mon ami Guenther.
Amitiés.
Philippe

hallo guenther, der anblick kommt mir doch irgendwie bekannt
vor, da unten bei den "ameisen" hätte ich sein können.
du hast zwar meinen brunnen "verpasst", dafür hatte ich es
versäumt, mir den kolumbus näher anzuschauen..man sollte den
reiseführer vorher genauer durchlesen. *g*
spätestens in 20 jahren, wenn die Sagrada Familia fertig ist
(welch´ hoffnung) muss ich auf jeden fall wieder dort hin,
am besten natürlich früher, denn nach den 5 tagen dort,
sind bestimmt noch 2/3 unerkundet geblieben.
jedenfalls, ein tolles foto mit einem grandiosen überblick über die hafengegend.
danke & viele grüße, thorsten.

Hello Guenther
That pleases me to see this sight. Naturally I know well this place, and stupidly, I am never climbed on the column of Columb. Too many tourists :o)
I like very much this sight, colours, and the chosen angle is good, we see everything, the port, maremagnum, the cable railway, people, las golondrinas...
This year, in April, all the wooden slats of the rambla were replaced by new for your arrival.
