Yesterday Skies

Image
Despite the cold (but everything is relative, such temperatures would be warm in Germany for January), it is always a pleasure to take an evening stroll by the sea in winter and look up at the sky. Such skies! They distract you from the many problems in the world, both here at home and in so many other countries. I dedicate this picture to the memory of Dr. Mustafa Elmasri, psychiatrist in Gaza, who passed away at the end of January last year. You will never be forgotten.

Happy New Year!

Image
Happy New Year to you all! I hope 2026 will be  better for the world than 2025.  I wish you good health and many interesting experiences.  After the storm, at Carihuela Beach in Torremolinos (Andalusia, Spain) #Torremolinos #Carihuela #beach #storm #Spain #Andalusia

Hailstorm on Christmas Eve

Image
There was a strange light last night. Almost as if sand from the Sahara was back in the air ("calima"), but then hail came.  These days are quite humid, which is actually a good thing. Rain is needed. Happy Holidays to you all! Just before the hail storm at Carihuela Beach (Torremolinos, Spain) #hail #December #Christmas #Torremolinos #Andalusia #Spain

Stormy day at Bajondillo Beach

Image
December brings us a few stormy days, some rain (though not enough), high waves and strong winds. This is nothing special for visitors coming from Northern Europe or North America, but here, this kind of scenery is rather unusual.  Deserted Bajondillo Beach in Torremolinos (Andalusia, Spain) Stranded buoy at Bajondillo Beach in Torremolinos (Andalusia, Spain) #torremolinos #málaga #spanish #spain #bajondillo #stormy #december

Orange Harvest Time is Soon

Image
We will soon be able to harvest oranges, except for the ones that fell to the ground due to the heavy rain. Still, they are beautiful lying on the street.  Oranges lying on the street after the rain in Torremolinos (Andalusia, Spain) #oranges #fall #Torremolinos #Andalusia #Málaga #Spain

Rain. Less Crowded Beaches!

Image
Quite heavy rain is expected today and tomorrow, which is good. If it does not rain now, we won't have enough water in the summer (again). Less crowded beaches are nice too, and since the clocks changed, it is finally dark and cozy again in the evenings.
