Even at the Sun Coast, autumn is there, which means more foggy days, less light.  Time to use bright colours to warm our minds!  Going for a walk I Going for a walk II

Last impressions of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany...  A very cloudy day, we visited Ferropolis (the city of iron) near the small town of Gräfenhainichen, an open-air museum showing five giant excavators that were used to extract brown coal during almost 100 years.  Now, festivals and other events are regularly organized there. But on that day, we were almost alone: the right atmosphere to enjoy such a weird place.  Feel free to click   here to see the whole gallery.

A big thank you to all friends who were there yesterday evening at the opening of my exhibition "Trazos andaluces" at Ítaca in Torremolinos. I enjoyed the multicultural company and wished such a magic moment could have last much longer. For those who could not come, you have still until the end of the month to pop in. Here some impressions:

Urban decay is always a bit sad, but I like to take pictures of such buildings because they have a story to tell. A story of better times, booming business or happy residents. Stones are patient, waiting for the curious photographer to decipher their pain. Urban decay is not exempt of beauty - when humble but strong nature finds its way to recapture urban space, it is just wonderful.

With dogs, trees are the best companions. Tree never shout, never lie, and are never rough. Wish I could spend more time with them. Enjoy !
