In the summer of 2017 I traveled with my brother through Europe. I met him in Madrid and we stayed at my cousin’s house for 5 days. It was like 40°C, I think it is the warmest city I have ever been to. From there we took the train to Barcelona. #DogPhotobomb
Among the few cities in the world that I have visited, Barcelona is the one I like the most. It feels so multicultural, so liberal, so free, and it has so much to offer. This time my brother and I stayed only three days. I hope to be able to visit again soon and maybe even to live there for some time.
After Madrid, Paris was the city with the highest temperatures during our vacation and some buildings did not seem to be designed for that kind of heat, like our hotel which did not have air conditioner or even fans! A three day stay ended with a nice street music performance that we could hear from our room.
The next stop in our trip was the unique city of Amsterdam. The weather changed dramatically here, it was cloudy all the time and my brother was freezing. We stayed here only two days before moving on to Berlin.
During our stay in Berlin we visited most of the iconic places. One building that I quite like is the Television Tower close to Alexanderplatz, a building that can be seen from anywhere in the city.
The sixth city in our trip and the first time we got rain. It rained so much that it almost ruined the opportunity to see the city. Luckily the clouds were up for a nice sunset. We took the chance to do laundry and got some rest before continuing to Vienna.
The best light for photography during our trip through Europe was found in Vienna, the sky was full of clouds that gave us really nice sunsets. One of the most beautiful cities I have visited and another I would like to live in.
From left to right: Buda district, River Danube, Pest district. To get this view we took one of those city tour buses that go around places everyone has to see. Up until now we had traveled by train but from here we needed to take a plane to Stockholm.
This is the view from the restaurant of our hotel in Stockholm. We stayed on a boat hotel anchored at Söder Mälarstrand.
After Prague and Vienna, it was Stockholm delivering beautiful sunsets. This one was taken the last night in the city before my brother and I continued our journey to Copenhagen.
The end of our trip was feeling closer and closer, so my brother and I spent as much time as possible being together out in the city. This is Copenhagen Central Station, and as we passed, the midnight came to say hello with a full moon.
The last week of our tour was ideal for a day trip from Copenhagen. I often go to Helsingborg to drink coffee, and I wanted my brother to have a look at such a beautiful town, which is less than an hour from the center of Copenhagen.
This photo was taken the last night I spent with my brother in Copenhagen. I often come to this location to make pictures and remeber our trip. It was such an amazing time and I am so happy to have had my brother here. I am looking forward to our next journey around the world.
Sometimes it is difficult for me to work on photographs that have a deeper meaning than what is explicitly captured. Finishing the edit of my travel photos took almost a year because of the emotions I felt when I looked at them. The previous 13 photographs are my favourite ones from this photo book that I made for my brother.
