We would have liked to find some water further up in the Río Fuengirola (also called Gomenaro, in Mijas, province of Málaga, Spain), but all we found was a dry river bed. Still, the place was beautiful. A silence for which we were grateful. A silence that is almost a luxury those days.  Enjoy! As always, prints and stuff are available through my website .

To stay safe in the extreme heat, we are forced to change our routines, going out very early and then waiting for the night to cool down to walk a bit again. On the weekend, time to read and swim, but also to watch the nature around us.  Nature never sleeps.  I have always loved cacti; we found this one in Álora (province of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain).

Summer is there and at the Costa del Sol, as usual, it is too hot and too dry (fine for those who stay two weeks and want a tan but not for us who live here and have to work). But in the small spa town of Lanjarón (some of you may know the name because you can find this water in many supermarkets) and surroundings, in the province of Granada, you can still find some (ferrous) water in the streams, and I was happy to find some art made by nature. Yes, art is everywhere. You just have to look around. Leaves in water in Lanjarón Leaves and ferrous water in Lanjarón Leaves, moss and ferrous water in Lanjarón
