Our Clever Camera...

We've got a new camera - a Canon SX200 - which has a rather neat feature - 'Colour Accent' - you select a colour you want it to focus on, and it does the rest!

I love this picture - it was taken in March this year at Tibidabo Amusement Park, Barcelona.

It was a beautiful crystal clear spring day (very different to our visit last May when it was VERY cloudy).  Typically very cold in the shade, but quite warm in the sun...we actually needed sunscreen!  Here's what the park information says about the ride...

• Avió  Young and old alike will delight in Tibidabo's most emblematic ride and history's first flight simulator. Powered by its own propeller it has been flying since 1928 on a flight that will stir your imagination.

It's safe to say that as we both have quite a fear of heights, and that the plane swings out over a very, VERY big drop, we didn't have a go, but it was wonderful seeing people going on it - both young and old, just as it says in the text - and coming off it with big smiles on their faces!
