The Highlands -Scotland

Isle of Skye


Scotland is definitely one of my favorite places in Britain. I have been there lots of times and the Highlands are indeed a place not to miss. I have traveled all around the coast line a couple of times, visiting the most remote small villages in tiny islands in the north and west coast.

Sunrise and dawns are amazing.



The sky seems painted with colours I have never seen before in my life. I scanned this photos the other day I didn't remember I had them. I took them with a Pentax manual camera, right before I got into digital photography. I cant recall the name of the places now, but I think the sunset ones are from the Isle of Skye.

I will upload some of the photos of me trip to Paris in the next days.

Trip Barcelona-Paris

Triumphant!

So here we are after summer holidays. The last week of August I traveled from Barcelona to Paris all along the coast to Perpignan in the french side and then Carcassone, Toulouse, Limoges and finally Paris. Everything was done on the most improvised way, no luggage, no route, no plans.... just the motorbike and me. I couldnt even imagine, when I started my trip that I was going to get that far.

Port de La Selva [Catalunya]

It was a fantastic ride, great roads and motorways [French ones are supposed to be the best ones in Europe] , blue skies all the way and the best of it useless speed radars. The bikers paradise.

Pere Lachaise cementary Paris

I drove through many villages and visited some interesting places in Paris that I will keep uploading the next days. I also went to make some photos in the Pere Lachaise cementary where we can find the graves of Honoré de Balzac, Georges Bizet, Maria Callas, Fédéric Chopin, Eugène Delacroix, Oscar Wilde, Moliere and Jim Morrison amongst many others. It was something I wanted to do since a long time ago.

Almost 3.000 Km of fun with a Honda CBR 929 RR.

I will upload more stuff of my trips this August on the upcoming days.

Xmas sunset


Maresme sunset




Last Tuesday I was riding my Yamaha RD 350 on the fantastic curvy roads of Arenys de Munt-Llavaneres on the way to Barcelona when I suddenly saw this sunset. I couldn't avoid to pull over have a spliff and enjoy the view.
I took this set of photos.
