Harry's Photography Thoughts

In April of 2026 I was walking around Menorca a lot, taking pictures for my ‘Menorca Postcards Project’. The idea being that I have been aiming to capture beautiful and meaningful photographs of the Island, with the best one day ending up as postcards, perhaps even prints. For now though, I am very happy just sharing them with everyone here. This collection is very dear to me; it showcases my visits to two wonderful Talaiotic sites and their surrounding countryside. All of these photos were taken on Kodak Pro Image 100, which I believe suits Menorca perfectly with its colour palette. I will certainly be shooting this film there a lot in the years to come…

Upon loading the Pro Image, I spotted a Hermann’s Tortoise in the grass…

After walking a bit, I also spotted a Cattle Egret. Wildlife-enthusiast-Harry was very happy indeed.

The views on the walk to the Torelló site were incredible, especially this field carpeted in wildflowers.

I love this house, opposite the Paleo-Christian Basilica.

Upon entering the farm gate to access the Torelló Talaiot, one can see a splendid view of El Monte Torro.

It’s an interesting little Talaiot!

I used my wide 28mm lens to try and capture as many of the fascinating surrounding features as possible.

In ‘typical Harry fashion’, I noticed a little dandelion growing out of one of the ancient stones.

My favourite feature of the Torelló Talaiot was its window/door at the top. Fascinating!

Upon leaving Torelló, a few metres down the road there is another interesting seemingly-Talaotic stone structure in a nearby farm field.

The walk to Cornia Nou was extremely beautiful.

The views of surrounding fields from the narrow path were incredible.

I love how each view is wrapped neatly in a ribbon of stone walls: a present for the eyes.

Whenever walking the Menorcan countryside, one always finds delightful architecture to appreciate…

…architecture that sits in perfect harmony with the landscape.

After a long and beautiful stroll through the country lanes, I sighted the eminent Cornia Nou Talaiot.

Cornia Nou is majestic.

Truly, I was blown away by its grandeur!

It had a little room inside!

The western side was equally incredible.

Here, I made a little green friend.

If one walks to the eastern part of the site, there are wonderful caves to explore too..

This was a wonderful walk, and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who, like myself, has interests in countryside and antiquity (in this case, prehistory). There is something very humbling and grounding about spending time in these places, created by people who lived thousands of years before us…
