Romantic spots and how to make the world better

-
It has been hard work for me to edit those few pictures from the surroundings of the salty lagoon Mar Menor (region of Murcia, Spain) but I wanted to show them. I spent too many hours this week looking at the news, discussing with family, friends and colleagues about freedom of speech, violence, terrorism, politics, religion, tolerance, etc. and what we could do to make our world better... :-( 

Showing some romantic places seems so unimportant to me at the moment. But live has to go on.

    Chani, these are beautiful photographs with equally beautiful words, they do matter, beauty and love do matter, they are water on a fire, a drink for the thirsty, kind words for the grieving. We need your work, in whatever form you see so keep working! I really love the flags, so bright and exciting!

      Thank you for your kind support, Matt. I am not sure I can really help to make the world better, but anyway, I will never give up to try and to work for it. The pencil, which has become a strong symbol, does not only represent freedom of speech, but also art, and education (the key to a better world perhaps).
      Those small flags were those of a fishing boat...

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-

There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
