The Spectator
This photo was taken in the dark last night at a concert given by the Town Band in the square of my village, Alhabia. Most of the spectators were seated in the square but this man, sitting on a doorstep in the doorway of an old building caught my eye. No special effects but the fact it was taken on an iPhone in portrait mode and at night almost gives the photo the appearance of a painting and I love the colours.
San Gregorio
This church and lane are near the bottom of the Albaicin, the old Moorish quarter of Granada
Door, Window and Chairs
The front of a cottage in the old gypsy quarter of Granada, Sacromonte.
Plaza Larga, Granada
Plaza Larga is a busy little square near the top of the Albaicin, the old Moorish quarter of Granada.
Cave dwelling
This is an interior of a cave dwelling in the old gypsy quarter of Granada, Sacromonte
Shopi in the Albaicin
This is a typical interior of a shop in the Albaicin, Granada. Colourful lanterns light the interior. Clothing and gifts, mostly from North Africa, the orient, India and Pakistan are offered for sale.
The pink dressing gown
I photographed this dressing gown hanging on a washing line against the wall of this old cottage in my village of Alhabia, when I walked past this morning. I liked the colour contrast of the bright pink garment against the flaking plaster and paint of the wall, the textures and composition. The dressing gown is the standard garment for women in the villages of Andalucia in winter and early spring and they often wear them in the streets.
Catching the winter sun
A street scene in Alhabia this afternoon. I like the contrast between the drab facade and the colourful washing. The woman sitting in the strip of sunshine makes the story.
The baker’s girl
Yesterday I took many photos of the JORNADA DE RECUPERACION DE OFICIOS ANTIGUAS – TERQUE and posted these on www.countryhouseinspain.wordpress.com. what I dis not include was this portrait of a girl on the baker’s stall. A lovely Spanish beauty.
Home grown peppers
We are growing more peppers in our new cortijo than we can eat so this morning I picked this caja full and took it to Antonio of Bar/Retaurant Perez in the square at Alhabia so they could be incorporated into the delicious tapas and meals they serve there. I like the colours – typical Spain.
