The Web

With the Internet being down in Gibraltar for the last 24 hours I found this photograph ironic! Happy new year! 

Puerto Banus, Marbella, Spain

Puerto Banus in Marbella (Spain) can sometimes be forgiven for being totally excessive.  In the hour or so that I spent having lunch a total of seven Ferraris, five Porsches, three Rolls Royce, two Bentley Continentals and one Lamborghini passed just in front of me.  And this is the low season!

You can easily run out of space to berth your boat....

Ferrari....

As if a Lamborghini is not a statement in itself, you can always get one in bright orange. Just in case no-one heard you comming round the corner five miles away!

Food, Ferraris and Ferrettis... that sums up Puerto Banus lifestyle!

Ojen, Spain

Minutes away from the jet set crowd of Marbella and Puerto Banus, you can find tranquillity and nature at its best in the Sierra Blanca.

Ojen is a typical Andalusian whitewashed villaged perched minutes away from Marbella. Spain.

Stormy Weather

The met office issued a servere weather warning on Friday for the weekend. It warned of 4m high waves and gale force easterly winds. They were not wrong! Here is the proof.

Angry waves.

Ferocious waves hit the cliffs.

Europa Point Lighthouse weathers the storm as it has done for years.

Everywhere you look, waves break above the cliff face.

Taking in the scene.

Seaon's Greetings

Sorry for not having posted in a few days but its been hectic to say the least.

It’s Christmas time which can only mean that the whole house gets turned upside down for the decorations to go up. This gives me the chance to take some shots of features which otherwise I only get to notice once a year.

Have a great Christmas and a prosperous new year!

Yours truly!

Delicate detail.

Dangly decoration.
