Pizarra: soft hills and a big sky

-
Situated approximately 30 km from Malaga, the small white town of Pizarra offers some interesting walks with panoramic views: soft hills with olive and almond trees. In some places, it is even possible to see the Mediterranean sea. I made a small sketch there, that I coloured digitally later. 
The only catch: in this idyllic landscape, one plane after another was descending for landing at Malaga airport. And: we collected some rubbish other walkers let "fall" in the nature. Hey, people, why is it so difficult to take your rubbish with you?

    Amazing landscape and great inspiration behind the sketch - so sad that it's ruined by sound pollution and litter. I get mad too when I see litter all over the place. We live down a country lane which some drivers take as a short cut - not only speeding but also throwing their rubbish out the window. It's only a few people doing it, but affecting the lives of many.

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

End of the Year Again

-
Image
I find it difficult to look back and to look forward because I am someone who lives in the present. Since I don't know what tomorrow will bring, I don't want to worry too much about what I will do, won't do or should avoid. But one thing is certain: in 2024, I will hold on, just as I did in 2023. Trying not to hurt others, trying to live reducing my carbon footprint. Living with eyes wide open to see beauty wherever it is. Making art out of it. May love and happiness be yours this holiday season! Water greens in Benalmádena (Andalusia, Spain) Shells on the beach in Benalmádena

Oh, Pampaneira!

I love this place where I can be myself, where I can still draw or write with pencil and paper without people laughing at me, where no one steals the silence I need to exist. I wish I could live there all year round; it might be hard in the winter, but 3/4 of the year would make up for it... Of course, when you grow old, you need a certain infrastructure, it is not a good idea to move to a village without proper medical care, shops, buses, etc. At least we can always go back there. A house will wait patiently for us. Oh, Pampaneira, I cannot wait to see you again!
