Great picture! That's what I wanted to do last October but the plaza was awash with pouring rain!

Oh, and look -- our annoying friend is standing right in front of him! The last time that guy accosted me about his CDs I told him I was going to saunter over to the guardia civil and ask for protection from his relentless badgering and insults. I think maybe when I see him this year in Santiago I'll make a preemptive strike -- approach him and tell him to leave me alone!

I think you should return it this year and ask for a refund. I'd love to see his face.

That says it all doesn't it? Great photograph Ivar! Aaaaahhhh my feet are itching to get walking!

 

[CanPete]

Ivar, was this picture taken with a special lens or did you hold a drinking glass in front of your camera lens ?

It looks like the photo (which is great by the way!!) was done with a camera that includes Tilt Shift or Toy Camera in its menu. Or an app like Tilt Shift Gen on a smart phone.

BTW, I am sorry if I derailed this thread with my nasty comments about the nasty man who is also in the picture. This is a beautiful photo, Ivar.

This photo has been taken on a Nexus 4 phone (the camera is known not to be very good). But the Android/Google has a nice editing tool that let's me add these effects... the photo was taken, edited and uploaded from the Obradoiro square.

No worries. He is a bit of a pain this guy... Since I look like a tourist, he still tries to stop me as well, and since is is kind of "pushy" it is a bit of a pain... I totally understand what you mean.

You should only answer him in Swedish..

Great photo, thanks ivar. Planning to be there in June.

What a great photo, Ivar!

Photos of the Camino from members are so wonderful and inspiring - liking at collections from past pilgrims shows a wonderful peaceful area - why more people are not encouraged to enjoy the Camino. I think people do not realise we can all walk Our Camino - we are not limited except by our own fears - and what a wonderful way to conquer our own fears and learn we are as strong as we allow ourselves to be - happy walking

Ivar, that's an understatement! I believe he lives somewhere in Rúa das Hortas, and also bothered us (which is also an understatement) on various occasions last year.
Next picture without him, or "adjusted" with a good photo editing app.
