Even though this is a weekly blog, all the pictures are in fact from one day: Sunday, 18th January. That day, Lars and I drove up to the mountains where we had cycled a couple of days earlier to explore some places with our cameras, something that is difficult to do from a bicycle–medium format equipment and tripods are not exactly easy to carry on a racing bike. So this Sunday we packed everything into the car and drove. My resulting black & white medium format pictures are shown here<\/a>, but in this blog I show some colour pictures, all taken with my “pocket” camera, the Ricoh GR.<\/p>\n

\nLars in action at the Puerto de la Carrasqueta:

\nHaving a sturdy tripod and a camera with self-timer allows for nice selfies:

\nAnother self-portrait:

Our last stop, and the source of the remaining dozen images, is a place near Busot, called the Preventorio de Aguas de Busot. More information is available here<\/a> (in Spanish). Basically, this started as a fancy hotel\/resort in the mid-19th century, became a hospital for children with tuberculosis just before the Civil War in 1936, and was subsequently abandoned once the disease was largely eradicated in Spain. Today, it is the property of a wealthy businessman from Alicante, but remains in its abandoned state. We start the tour on the grounds, and finish it inside the building.<\/p>\n

\nLooking into the neighbouring room:
\n\"R001139\"<\/p>\n

4_18<\/strong>
\nWe were not the only ones exploring the place. The Preventorio seems to be treated by the locals as a park:
\n\"R001132\"<\/p>\n

4_19<\/strong>
\nLooking up at the ceiling. Access to the upper floors is impossible, just as well:
