Seville, Spain – Part 1, the city

In 2016, having (so far) been unsuccessful in getting my church choir to do a visit of Spain, I decided to bite the bullet and tour it myself and joined a commercial tour of the country. I had a great time! (As it happens, the choir decided to visit Spain the next year, and I went with them on that.) This set will include some photos from both trips, and is devoted to general views of the city. Part 2 will be of the Seville Cathedral in particular. Part 3 will be the organs and stained glass of the Cathedral. Part 4 will cover the Parish Church of Santa Cruz, where we sang a concert.

Now, to the city

Nicely done!

Cute, colorful, and timely.

If you have any 127 Superslides (1.625" x 1.625") none of the usual slide scanners will work on them--you'd have to use a flatbed scanner. Some vendors can handle them, but you'd need to make sure first. DigMyPics did say they can scan them (but it costs a little more).

No, I've not sent any to DigMyPics yet.

Very, very nice!

DigMyPic will accept slides in trays, and will name the folders according to what is on the tray memo. I haven't used them, but I asked since I have a lot of Carousel trays of slides I am considering digitizing.

Not the way I celebrate, but to each his own.

Well done. Simple and effective.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked them.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked them. Did you check out Part 2, the stained glass?

Not near where the rich folks have their ocean-front homes, I'll bet.

Nicely done.
