Waiting at the Bus Stop at Plaça de la Universitat

Monochrome photography from Barcelona in Spain

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene moment of urban life at a bus stop on Plaça de la Universitat. In the foreground, three people are seated on a bench, their backs to the camera, waiting for a bus. The bus shelter's glass panels reflect the street and the surroundings, creating a double exposure effect that blends the people inside the shelter with the passing traffic outside.

The background is dominated by a majestic, classical building, which is the University of Barcelona. The building's prominent tower, with its clock face and arched windows, stands out against a dramatic, cloudy sky. Trees line the street, their branches framing the view. The image masterfully combines the everyday reality of waiting for public transport with the timeless architectural beauty of the city, all rendered in the classic, high-contrast style of black and white photography.
