Returning to my trip to Spain a couple of weeks ago. The whole length of the Costa Del Sol is lined with terracotta temples to tourism. The relentless sun banishes all gradations, turning pictures into patterns. This was a small shopping centre between San Pedro and Estepona.
Nice composition, and equally nice descriptive words. I look forward to your next thousand posts.
ReplyDeleteDecorative ....and alliterative!
ReplyDeleteSuperb picture, Alan. The sky is a stark contrast to the building.
ReplyDeleteat least the pattern is soothing eh?
ReplyDeleteWow, Alan, I have missed some of your posts. I will have to read them and catch up. I want to hear all about your trip to Spain. Several years ago a friend invited me to travel to Spain with her but I was unable to take the time for the trip so she went alone and she had such a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteCan you think back to China and the Mao Jackets the people all wore and carried around the little Red book. Look at China today. Chairman Mao could never fathom China today.
ReplyDeleteWhen the word, "Spain," comes up then my mind races to bull fighting and the lust for blood and the carcass being drug out by a tractor.
When the word, "Spain," comes up I remember the invasion of the Americas by that crown and the numbers of people enslaved and slaughtered. Whole nations of people. Under the banner of church and state, no less.
Of all the places I would like to visit before I die, Spain would be on the bottom of the list.
Now, I am not talking about the people or bloggers but the nation and what it stood for over the centuries.
You certainly have an eye for this kind of thing, Alan. I wouldn't have thought of that as a photo - I just wouldn't have seen it that way. But it makes a wonderful picture.
ReplyDeleteI love the simple detail and color.
ReplyDeleteNice picture. Sunny days!
ReplyDeleteRioja wine is another good reminder of Spain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tiles. And that sky is amazingly blue blue. (Thanks for your kind words re my poem, dear friend)
