MNAC and Montjuic Trees. Barcelona, 2018 (iPhone 6 and Silver Efex Pro)
I have walked by this scene many times over the past few weeks on my way home from the local climbing gym (Climbat, La Foixarda). But, I only actually SAW it on this particular day.
How is it you can pass by a composition so many times without seeing it?
That’s why I think it is wrong to say, “I don’t really want to go back with my camera to [Yellowstone, Moscow, Antarctica, Mars, the local dog park, my cousin’s house, where-so-ever, etc.] because I have already photographed there.”
The weather conditions are always different, the light changes and, even more importantly, YOU are never the same–your emotions, your technical ability– and you will therefore see things differently each time you go.
The building in the distance between the trees, by the way, is the National Art Museum of Catalunya (MNAC), an imposing building set on the slopes of Montjuic, above Barcelona.
And here are a couple of bonus images from the same general area around Montjuic…
In this first one, I wish I had thought to leave just a bit of space between the top of the umbrella and the bottom of the stairs:

Naturally, since it was a sign about a sort of camera, I had to pull my camera out and photograph it. It took a little work in post to fix the perspective and straighten the lamp posts:
