A further study of someone else’s holiday photographs

Basically, mine. Enjoy – or not, as the case maybe…

Canary Islands – 11th – 25th November 2023

First up, Southampton bedecked in the nearly mid-November dusk

Somewhere off the coast of France. Something nice about clouds, sea and sunrises…

Tenerife, Thursday 16th November. What does being around 12,000ft up a currently asleep volcano – Mount Teide – look like?

Gran Canaria, Friday 17th. Little happened that day. This helpful chap clambered on board and helped us dock..

But, Saturday 18th November – Lanzarote. Thursday 12,000ft up, this day 70ft below the harbour.

Sunday 19th November – Madeira. And a trip to gaze at some flora and some foliage at the islands Botanical Gardens

Fast forward to Tuesday 21st – Lisbon. And an interesting tour of how they got the drinking water until the 1920’s, from hills to city via a network of viaducts

And dribbling though the network of underground tunnels..

And the last but one leg, into the cities reservoirs

Finally, Thursday 23rd and the last call – top of Spain, La Coruna – and here’s the Hercules Lighthouse at the Cape of Trafalgar, which is part of the UK shipping forecast, but seldom mentioned..

Leave ’em stunned with a photo of sea spray on rocks. I know how to please an audience..

A Blue Oasis In Africa

Photos of Chefchaouen, Morocco from October 2016 – a small walled town, where they paint the walls, floors and doors heat soaking shades of blue..

But first, some scenery

And now, a wander around Chefchaouen.

The strange thing about that last photo was that when I took it – I never noticed the little girl looking at me.

I was more taken with the contrast of the things hanging up on the right hand side of the photo, with the wall colours on the left hand side.
