Conveuropean

Have you ever experienced this feeling of being on the road driving to somewhere and then having and breathtaking landscape in front of you so nice that you feel the urge to stop and take a picture?. Some weeks ago we went

to visit an interesting open air museum in the middle of Switzerland and just before we arrived to this place,we stumble onto this amazing landscape with the snowy alps in the background, reflected in the calm waters of a lake, surrounded by some green hills. Fortunately we found a place on the road to park the car and to take this picture. There is no doubt this country has some amazing landscapes!.

I you have been following this photoblog I think you are not going to be surprised if I mention Berlin is one of my favorites cities in Europe. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit it once time more and since I stayed with some friends living in the south part of the city I got to see the area around Templehof including the former airport that now it is a huge open green space. In a truly Berlin style, it has an Art minigolf in the middle of the park where we got some water and this is where I took this picture. During the weekend I was visiting Berlin there was a referendum to keep the tempelhof park 100% public and it passed with around 65% percent of the votes in favor of the initiative. Therefore the Berliners will keep enjoying this huge and popular park in the city. Well done!.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit London one more time. In my opinion the British capital is always an interesting place to visit, offering so many things to do, places to visit and food to eat, that is hard to decide what to do. This time around I was staying at the Paddington area near to the Hyde park and I tried for the first time the London (aka "Boris") Bikes, and since weather was pleasant it turned out to be an excellent decision. I started my ride in the Hyde park, passed by the Buckinham palace, continued all the way to through the Mall and ended up in Charing Cross where I finished the trip. It's here where I took this picture of Trafalgar Square. The name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory off the southern Spanish coast during the Napoleonic wars. I really like the view you get from the stairs of the National gallery.

Last thursday I read in my tech feeds that Google had released an standalone camera app in the play store, to simulate programmatically depth-of-field lens-blur effects to the shots taken with the phone. Since I had updated my "old" galaxy nexus maguro to CM11 the night before I decided to give a go to this new app.

Some weeks ago I was showing my brother the map on this photoblog containing the different cities I had visited during the years I have been living in Europe and he asked me about Amsterdam. I haven't noticed but I realized I haven't published any picture yet from the famous Dutch capital and since I recently had a connecting flight passing through schiphol I thought that was a good opportunity to take a good picture for conveuropean. One of most fascinating parts of Amsterdam are its canal system, conceived as part of the city planning in the 17th century. In this picture you can observe one of this canals at night, with the church of St. Nicholas in the background.
