Lepanto Monument in Barcelona.
A photo of a small monument, just near the port of Barcelona, which commemorates the battle near the city of the same name.
To tell the truth, it is not a very evocative or particularly beautiful photo. I had it in my archive for some time and it was time to publish it before throwing it away.
I have always kept it in case I lacked inspiration but luckily I always have a good supply of better photos.
