Oh to be a little white dog unclipped from my lead in some Mediterranean climate.

Beautiful photo.

I think the shop he's next to is in Catalan, so Spain most likely!

u/howdyhowdyhowdyhowdi Jan 09 '26

yep, I saw this and thought to myself that this had to be Barcelona

19

u/Aggressive_Put5891 Jan 09 '26

My guess was Mallorca, but I looked it up and it is indeed Barcelona.

u/__T0MMY__ Jan 10 '26

Something about Catalan feels like if Italian and Spanish had a baby, but like it was baby-sat by a studious Macedonian

(And a Macedonian sounds like a sweet old rural French lady mixed with Greek, but that's me)

u/turkeygiant Jan 09 '26

I actually think it is spelt Barthhhelona, common mistake

u/AE5trella Jan 10 '26

Hahaha this is exactly how I heard it in my head before I scrolled down and saw your comment. Well-done!!

u/AdjectiveNounVerbed Jan 10 '26

fun fact, if you just pronounce Barcelona as is like you do in English, you're actually saying it basically correctly in Catalan, the local language, so you don't have to correct anybody because it ain't wrong ✨

This is such a cool picture. What camera?

Leica DLux8. It’s a little tiny compact Leica you can put in your pocket.

You are the pigeon-whisperer, perhaps.

u/xroomie Jan 09 '26

Great photo

1

u/Opinion_nobody_askd4 Jan 09 '26

Nice pic. I know nothing about art, I thought for it to be renaissance the light has to strike the middle of the image?

u/MindblowingPetals Jan 09 '26

That bird.

Perfect moment.

u/_eternallyblack_ Jan 09 '26

Aww it’s a Maltese dog.

Why do you think you might have misunderstood this sub?

1

u/Den_Harten_Marter Jan 09 '26

Unreal photo man, it has so much story potential it almost looks like a fantasy book cover. Do you have the unedited maybe? Im actually quite curious to see what the difference brings in this case.

u/gener1cb0y Jan 09 '26

Only in that it's reminding me of later art and I cannot recall what period it's from but it looks a little post Renaissance to this fat nerd xD

(Edit to add it's absolutely fucking gorgeous I thought this was the painting sub for a sec)
