I spotted this scene while walking up the hill next to the harbour in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. The peeling paint of the window frame attracted my attention, but then the modern signs stood out in contrast to the white painted wall. Just one of those things I like about looking around.

A cat sits on the slipway in the old town of Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote, surveying the damage to a boat. Or maybe he’s just enjoying the last rays of the sun on a warm January evening.

On a lovely evening in Puerto del Carmen, a man fishes in the waters of the Atlantic. The sun is setting, but the evening is still warm, even in January!

A woman walks up a hill in Lanzarote, 2006. The sun is beating down, but she’ll be walking into the small shade afforded by the wall of a house.

Something caught her eye as she walked along. I don’t know what. I took this photo in 2006, but only noticed it a few days ago. Arrecife, Lanzarote. 2006.

A very curious and friendly cat in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

The tower of the Centro Deportivo Fariones in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote is lit up in the evening.

Ready for an evening swim in the pool?
