The old and the new in Málaga
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.
Dos cervezas por favor
Beer carried through a busy crowd in a market. Only a few drops of liquid dropped out of the glasses too! A guy behind him had a selection of tapas for wherever they were going!
Malaga after the sun set
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.
La Capilla del Puerto de Málaga
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.

Spanish Gentleman
A man dressed in a suit is an unusual sight when all around him are dressed casually.
Distracted in Arrecife
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.
