Back from Spain and a return to the wet grey skies of West Yorkshire after five days of vibrant blue skies and radiant heat that warms the body and gently toasts the spirit. Jamie and Bev were perfect hosts who constantly took us places, showed us places and enriched the whole experience with their company. The sun shone, the planes flew on time and Andalusia was quite beautiful. I took a fair number of photographs and I will show you a sample over the coming days. As I select them and post them, who knows, maybe a little of that warm sun will come shining through. Today's picture shows the lovely old village of Casares which is a few miles inland from Estepona, between Marbella and Gibraltar.
That's a stunning photograph Alan. Welcome back and I look forward to seeing more from your holiday
ReplyDeleteThat is quite amazing. Glad you had a good time, Alan.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Alan! We need some sunshine here in Central PA - we're in the midst of torrential rains and flooding creeks and rivers.
ReplyDeleteGrrrreat photo! That blue awning really sparks it. You have such a good eye.
ReplyDeletei want a wander to casares! incredible #1027!
ReplyDeleteMouse : 1027 - yes, it is a continuation from my Picture Post Blog which notched up just over 1,000 posts before I incorporated it into this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back, Alan. Those houses appear to have grown out of one another.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a wonderful photo - very white. Bob, KarenS and I have been posting white themed pictures over at written.inc You should definitely link this one to it!
ReplyDeleteAt first glance, it looks unreal, at second glance it looks unreal, at third glance it is amazing. My eyes just don't see such scenes
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! This is one fabulous image!!!
ReplyDeleteWell my wife says I should take more photos of people.
ReplyDeleteI honestly could not find a single human on this wonderful photograph. But you're not married to my wife....
I think that image would make a very difficult jigsaw.
ReplyDeleteSuperb photo, Alan. Glad you linked it to Carmi's white theme.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought - just like Chairman Bill's (which could, if you know his blog, be quite an alarming trend!) - was that this would make a fiendish jigsaw.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb shot!
ReplyDeleteWow! Alan this takes the cake quite literally! I just love playing along with Carmi's Thematic Photographic, you just never know what someone will bring in! ;) Marvelous selection you posted! I hope you keeping popping in here too, I've been posting here the longest of all, (still love it) Bob S. came over a while ago and Little Nell just arrived a few weeks ago too!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is staggeringly beautiful, iconic even. I find myself diving into the tiny details, wondering about the lives going on behind each window, about the community that connects all of these remarkable structures together.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared this as part of our Thematic theme, and hope you'll pop back in for the next one (it goes live Monday night.)
Alan, yes you should pop over to Thematic Photographic again! The theme is "playing with light" I know you probably even have a few of those from Spain even!
