Badalona, gentrification?
As I lived in Badalona for a few years I would take walks into the different parts of the city to see how it was changing. Badalona has some poor neighbourhoods, some beautiful original buildings, and a lot of redevelopment. Some buildings are modern beauties but are not appreciated as such, it will be a shame to see them go. Along the waterfront it's becoming the usual overdevelopment of holiday homes.
One of those quiet places
I ofter pass by this building at the Mongat end of the beach. One day I will do a photoshoot there.
Colourful Brutalism?
Apartment block in Pep Ventura, Badalona. To me its beautiful, so I have tried to photograph it from every angle.
Beachfront Restaurant, Badalona
One of the more authentic looking restaurants in Badalona right on the beach. But you cannot find it on-line :)
Marina Office at dawn
Captured the sunrise in the buildings reflections.
A great example of the cladding Spanish builders use.
One way to tame the powerful Spanish sun is to use an outer skin of bricks or tiles.
Factory demolition - Badalona
Making way for housing, another factory lost.
Badalona apartments
Another example of great design, colourful tiles to tame the powerful Spanish sun.
Pep Ventura Garage
Passing this location every day, I wanted a shot of it at night. The lighting was just right and the distracting buildings behind have been hidden.
