Overlooking the water, there were the typically heavy clouds, some showers, some sun and beautiful dramatic sunrises and sunsets. And every evening, sitting at the dining table, we would see flocks of birds gathering ...
The last 3 weeks Graham and I have been house-sitting in Spain, in a cortijo (=small house) tucked away at 1000meters in the Sierra Nevada. For the first time I have been using the panoramic function of my camera over and over again, and even those pictures can hardly express the vastness and the ...
