I was there too
Is it too late to post Christmas photos? The Christmas lights of Malaga are a fabulous sight to see. Spanish people really take celebrating the holidays seriously, with lots of happy faces to be seen everywhere!

More light trails from passing traffic in Malaga.
It was a nice warm night. I was listening to the Shakespeare episode of the Short History Of podcast. Good memories.

A moment of laughter caught on camera in Malaga, Spain a few weeks ago.
I wonder what they were talking about?

There’s a four lane highway through Malaga but in December and January they have great decorations over the street.
The perfect time to take some long exposure shots of passing traffic!

Loading a container ship in Malaga Harbour. The sun has already set but there’s a lovely glow in the sky!
Trying something new this time. You’ll probably have the visit the site to get the full effect. I’ll be uploading these images to Instagram shortly.
As before, these images were cut up with the convert command:

A wide-angle photo of the glass pyramid in Malaga that I posted before, but this time showing the Roman ruins underneath, contrasting with the modern LED lights on a tree in the background.

If the sky is right, Málaga harbour has some stunning sunsets. The colours of the sky are reflected in the waters of the harbour. The industrial and urban buildings on the far shore make for pleasing silhouettes defined by the setting sun.

The chapel of the port of Málaga sits right in the middle of a now busy tourist area. It’s flanked by expensive restaurants, with towering apartment blocks behind it for tourists.
A review on Google maps (and Tripadvisor) is enlightening.
This is the Chapel of the Port of Malaga. Erected as an oratory in 1531 further out in the port area, but moved closer inland, brick by brick in 1719 and inaugurated as a chapel a few years later. It was used to say mass for seamen who were often extremely religious due in part to their dangerous profession. It’s a very old building and when juxtaposed against the modernity of Malaga Port, seems oddly out of place, yet all the more beautiful. Not a must see, but worth a detour if in the port area.
I can’t comment on how accurate that review is, as I couldn’t find any “official” page about the chapel, at least in English.

Bright purple lights on a tree reflect off the ground after a friend shower in Málaga. The pyramid is the “Pirámide de Cristal” which is a glass pyramid that is there at least 11 years.
Ancient ruins are visible through the glass, which are apparently, “Roman basins belonging to a salted fish factory from the second half of 4th century A.D. The basins were used to make the fish sauce called garum.” according to wikimapia.
Look to the right of this image and you’ll see a large statue of one of the Kings, as this photo was taken just before January 6th.
Out of shot are the ruins of the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba, a fort built or rebuilt up to the 14th century.
