Life is sometimes an eternally long road. Eemnes

-

Life sometimes feels like an eternally long road. Especially when everything is different, because forbidden or impossible.

One can enjoy during the journey though, looking at the birds, the sky, the cattle. Here some pictures of the polder landscape near the small town of Eemnes, The Netherlands (prints available through Fine Arts America):

    I love these open horizons! I wish I could cycle down that lane! I've just spotted your comment on my blog, Chani, about sleeping outside - I'm not sure I could - I would be too afraid in the dark. We've got foxes around as well and they make a hell of a racket when they're mating - seriously, it's like someone being tortured. I feel scared listening to them in the house! Maybe I could sleep in a tent though. But then I'm thinking I need to get up to use the toilet several times during the night - how am I going to do that? I like my creature comforts LOL. Otherwise, I love the idea in theory. Luckily, it's a lot cooler now and we've had lots of rain too. This is much more my kind of weather! More rain tomorrow yay! Thanks so much for your visit! Enjoy the rest of the summer!

      Sleeping in the garden with foxes around may be a problem... It may be different if you had a dog. When we sleep outside (no foxes here, just cats and owls), of course, it is a longer way to the toilet, a bit uncomfortable in that sense, but the stars and the sky are so rewarding that it is worth it.

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
