The tree was photographed in Balboa Park, San Diego and a bokeh texture from Shadowhouse Creations was added. I liked the effect, which reminded me of 'ghostly' photos I've seen taken in graveyards or other spooky places.
The sunny small boat harbor at Cassis is the jumping off point for boat tours of the famous Calanques - the steep-walled, limestone coves that line the Mediterranean between Marseilles and Cassis in southern France.
This building at the corner of Passeig de Gracia is home to the Cinema Comedia. I believe the building functioned as a palace at one time. Although this statue was in front of the cinema when we were there, I've since seen many photos which don't show the statue any longer, so perhaps it was only temporary.
