Photo's that never see the light of day - Paris, France

I have been feeling a bit out of sorts today. Not sure what it is. Could be the beautiful weather and being in an airconditioned office. Could be that time of the year. Or it could be because I have a list of things a mile long that I want to get done and there never seems to be enough hours in the day!
To cheer myself up I had a flick through the digital photo album (all it did was make me want a holiday!). So today I thought i would share with you some happy travel snaps that never see the light of day - ah Paris - i remember you well.

Random photos that never see the light of day

Quick post today as the day has disappeared on me. Some happy snaps from our travel:

Granada Graffeti

Snails in Seville

Photo's that never see the light of day - Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain

Today's "Photos that never see the light of day" are from a bit of a random town in Spain where we stopped very briefly for one night between Bilbao and Barcelona. We chose to stop in Vitoria-Gasteiz for no other reason than they apparently have the largest deck of playing cards in the world (!). Unfortunately having arrived, found a hotel, parked our car and checked in - we then discovered the museum where the cards were displayed was closed for renovations. We were devastated. OK not really. But given there was not much else to do we resorted to wandering the (slight scary because it is a heavily political town in Basque country) back streets.

Out of this came one of my favourite photos of our holiday.....

What is it I hear you ask? It was actually a mural on the side of a building which I "slightly" altered in photoshop.

And despite the age old rule that a magician never reveals their secrets -i will let you see mine - before photoshop photo below....

(small confession - the altered photo does actually see the light of day on my kitchen wall, my parents kitchen wall, a friends house..... but thought i would share it with you anyway!)

Photo's that never see the light of day - Granada, Spain

Today I went looking for one photo in particular, then got side tracked by some others, and then couldn't decide which one to post, so this week i am going to be posting a photo or two a day from our honeymoon back in 2008 when we were lucky enough to drive from France, through Spain to Portugal for 6 weeks. It was an amazing holiday that could never be repeated (if anyone ever needs tips for Spain or Portugal just ask).

So today's photos:

Some graffiti we passed in a back street

A "quiet" courtyard in the Alhambra

(admission: I didn't notice the fish until I saw the photo later!)
