Week 03: Out and about

Filed under: — Administrator @ 14:39

My friend Lars was still here, until Tuesday, so we spent the first part of the week out and about, cycling, taking pictures, cooking and drinking beer. Those are the activities we always enjoy doing together. The pictures I show this week are mostly the product of those days.

One day we were sitting at a table on the Esplanada de España and noticed this family approaching:

Alternates
:

Alternate 1
The dog was very lively:

L1000102

Alternate 3
This is the kind of scene we were photographing that day:
L1000095

Alternate 4
But I am more at home on the street:
L1000100

Alternate 5
Lars bakes delicious bread:
L1000112

Alternate 6
I even convinced him to make some special shapes:
L1000118

The last three pictures are from later in the week. Lars had left, and life was back to normal–too bad!

Alternate 7
Morning view from my office. The apartment buildings form the communities of Urbanova and Gran Alacant, with lots of British residents. Behind the peninsula is the town of Santa Pola. This image is a test shot as much as anything else; I was testing a 90mm Leica M lens on my new Panasonic GF-1 camera:
_1000090

Alternate 8
Friday afternoon the office arranged for a chestnut vendor, castañero, to offer us the roasted chestnuts on our back terrace:
_1000105

Alternate 9
Saturday afternoon on the beach in El Campello. It is winter, so nobody is bathing, but the beach is still being used by local residents:
L1000149

  1. Enjoyed them all very much especially the first two; but, really all; I like to see how people in other societies live. No need to acknowledge my remarks 🙂
