I mentioned in my last post that I'd returned from Spain recently where I spent some time with friends. One of my friends owns a townhouse in one of the urbanisations near the Costa Blanca coastline. I give the Spanish great credit as the vast majority, and I mean the VAST majority of homeowners in the area are not Spanish at all. Instead they are Brits, Swedes, Dutch, Germans... you name it, they are all there. You seldom hear a word of Spanish spoken anywhere in the area. The Spanish are very tolerant of these interlopers who hardly speak a word of their language between them. I wonder how the English would welcome whole town fulls of non-English speaking residents along their coastline. We have much to learn.

This is a picture looking straight up the wall to some overhanging roof tiles at my friend's house. Some interesting shapes and colours I thought.

When I go on my annual golf trip to Spain every autumn I stay in a friend's house in a room on the 2nd floor. The room has a large terrace and this was shot from that terrace one evening as the sun was setting looking west over a number of properties. These sunsets are gone as quickly as they arrive but can be so beautiful for those moments they exist.
