There was something about the expression on this lovely woman’s face that caught my eye on this morning in downtown Santa Fe. She seems so far away from the street where she stands.
This scene invoking quiet introspection and isolation was taken maybe just 100 meters from our home in Valencia. While there are several benches in the spot, there are rarely more than one or two people seated here. On this particular late afternoon, this gentleman sits waiting, thinking, or maybe simply taking a few minutes to rest before moving on.
While his shirt says one thing, his face seems to say something very different. Perhaps his outward expression isn’t directed at Valencia? I didn’t look back to see the object of his ire, so we’ll just have to use our imagination. I do agree with the sentiment on the shirt, though. What a great place to be living 🙂
Just another day out shopping for some people in Valencia. I’m not sure if this pair in the lower right corner are waiting for someone inside the shop or if they’re just waiting. I liked the look of the scene with the two mannequins “standing” behind them and just as I clicked the shutter, one of them looked right into the camera as if to say “I see you there”.
These two definitely have different approaches to visiting the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. The young lady here is on her second or third “take” taking a video selfie in front of the massive architectural wonder behind her while her companion checks his phone.
When Fallas is in full swing here in Valencia, you can be sure there will be lots of opportunities to grab some interesting moments. This particular moment makes me smile every time I see it. There are two stories happening here (at least) with one being told by the young lady on the right and the one we can’t see in the frame that our expressive young lady on the left is seeing. Our out of “uniform” Fallera (judging by her hair) on the left’s expression here is priceless, and I look back on this and wish I had the wherewithal to have looked over to see what she was viewing.
