54 Days at Sea — Photographing Ibiza


Lucky One at an Angle

Photographic subjects may abound, but so too do both colors and textures:

There are lots of whimsical opportunities here, as well:

Meeting of the Mannequins

Confessions in Bronze

If you find these photographs fun, remember that I’ve saved the best for Fun Photo Friday. Until then I’ll leave you with these two:

54 Days at Sea — April 7, Ibiza


Botafoch Lighthouse

MS Prinsendam left Málaga on April 6, and the next morning we were docked at the Balearic Island of Ibiza. Ibiza is a wonderfully picturesque destination some 93 miles/150 kilometers west of Valencia, Spain.

Ibiza is just an incredibly fun place to walk around and take photographs. Subjects range from the classical to the colorful yet mundane.

Ibiza Balconies

Laundry Day

You’ll find everything from open-air markets to bottle cap-covered doors:

Other views range from naturally framed stairways to hand-painted tiles set into walls:

The Island of Ibiza


Today I present to you the charming Mediterranean island of Ibiza.  Ibiza is located in the Balearic Islands, which together with Majorca, Minorca, and Formentera form an autonomous community of Spain.  Ibiza is a great place for photography in general, and black-and-white photography specifically.  The rich textures of cobbled streets and old buildings lend themselves quite handily to B&W conversions.  But don’t let the occasional splash of color pass you by.  Even those can be real gems (click on an image to bring up an album of enlargements):
