Street Cat, a photo from Tarragona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Tarraco - capital of the roman 'provincia hispania citerior' - offers lots of archeological sites from those times as well as from medieval times.

A place to stroll around: the old part of the city, surrounded by roman walls. In the center lies the cathedral (XII - XIV cent), small lanes and old houses gives you the impression to walk in a different time - a huge open air museum.

Many of the houses still stand on roman groundings. Later generation used even carved marble blocks, still to see in the walls, to renovate their buildings.

Tarragona is a nice city. have you been to Tortosa, that is also a nice medieval town? a nice shot. the black cat adds something to the general mood of this pic. in spain, black cats are bad omen. i don't know in germany...

Hi Knut,
Welcome back. A perfect restart with such a good informative image. Very good DoF with good management of the light Knut. All the details are perfectly visible. The additions in time makes such environments a little ugly.
Welcome back again...

Brilliant capture! Sometimes ypu are just in the right place at the right time, and if you're lucky you'll have your camera with you!

The silhouette works well. Nice looking cat too - obviously on a mission to find something
