Longer Shadows

-
By the end of August, the shadows are getting longer, and one can feel the summer coming to an end. Soon, we'll be able to hike during the day again. Finally. 
This summer was especially hard. There were fires all over Europe, even in Northern and Central Europe, where you normally wouldn't expect them. I wish our leaders would take the situation seriously and act instead of reacting (and lining their own pockets).

This post is dedicated to the memory of Carlos Arnefelt, my dear former sensei, 8th dan karate goyu-ryu kenshinkan, who passed away last month. I will always love you, Carlos! May you rest in peace!

Late Summer in the Countryside

-

It is still hot, but the days are getting shorter. It is August after all. We are impressed by how long the trees' shadows are.  And early in the morning, the countryside is full of life, with birds and hares everywhere.  Again: the province of Málaga is not just the coast. The interior is worth seeing and often has much more to offer. Here, near the small town of Archidona. Not far from the coast, but another world. Enjoy!

Lockdown walks in Torremolinos

-

Locked within our municipalities since January, we are at least allowed to walk as free as animals roaming in a safari park. But, evidently, our town does not offer as much space and as many beautiful spots as a safari park ;-) Anyway, after work, I wanted to rediscover what I thought I already knew inside out. I saw dramatic skies, charming trees and streets waiting for me in the moonlight. I could not capture the smell of earth and moss after rain. Enjoy! You can find prints of and other stuff on my website following this link . The places where the pics were taken are also mentioned there.

Door to a Hidden Garden

-

I wish I could turn off summer and return to normal temperatures. I don't want to complain, though, when I think about the human suffering in Ourense, Castilla y León, Portugal, Greece, and, of course, Gaza. Even if I choose to disappear into my secret garden, I cannot forget that I am part of this world. Door to a hidden garden. Torremolinos (province of Málaga, Spain)
