Although this photograph was taken in Barcelona, Spain, we can perhaps imagine that the ship is actually docked just a few blocks from here on the Ballard shipping canal. David Robbins, a Seattle photographer travels throughout the world in search of abstract juxtapositions of visual elements that evoke, but do not document a particular place. So we are free to place this ship in any location we wish through our imagination
