Salamanca – My photographs
You’ve read all about my trip around beauty-suffused golden-hued Salamanca, and now I’m sharing a few of the vastly numbered photographs (around 750 in total!) which flew out of my camera in response to the sensational sights which pleasured my eyes at every turn of this aureate city. From sun drenched cloisters and intricate stone masonry, to the city’s modern day junctions and its glowing facade at sunrise, these photos are testament to my adoration and admiration for a city which inspires from every elegantly carved facet of its kaledescopic cultural, historical and aesthetic offerings.
Once you’ve indulged on the visual delights which Salamanca’s offers aplenty, come back to The Daily Norm tomorrow, when the gastronomic delights and inexorable strengths of both Madrid and Salamanca will be my focus. Until then, enjoy…

Fantastic pics. I wish I had taken such pics when I went to Europe last year. Btw, which camera did you use.. In the mirror reflection photo, it looked like a cellphone!!
Hey! Many thanks! Usually I use a sony cyber shot but occasionally my iphone4 as its pretty good for when I need to capture something spontaneous. Otherwise I’m a fan of my Nikon SLR but I need the lens cleaned so I’m not using it at the moment!
Oh ya. Our Iphones and Android phones have pretty much replaced SLRs today. They are so handy, come with good features and effects. Poor SLR gets quite easily ignored!
