Folks it is Anno Domino 2009 .. the Month May ..Sunday 10 ; time 11.45 am / The Cruise ship docked this morning in Cadiz-Spain .. the most Southern point of the Iberian Peninsula. So, with the usual group explorers ( 3 camera fanatics and Ladies) we went ashore. Its always our policy to explore on our own and leave the Sightseeing sort of sardines in a tin for others / 90% of the time is always for the Lady explorers!! (Shops and markets) and 10 % for the Men with Camera’s.:(( / This way the divorce rate is as low possible, so all Men thinking of making a Cruise .. mark this strategy in your agenda. / Trust me .. all other systems fail in the end and you end up , single back to your Mom place or in a Tent / Caravan-Trailer on a camping side. Walking in some sort of chevy back Alley; I spotted Freckles here in a Window with that look: Any closer and I mark your face / Now lucky for me Freckles here was at 2nd level .. But I did find her expression very sexy :-) Thanks for POPPING IN Folks / John TechTalkzz Cannon 40D / Canon lens 18-200 IS at MAX 200 / ISO 200 / F8.- 1/320 sec Catt-Quote Dogs come when they’re called; cats take a message and get back to you later / by Mary Bly.

While walking the streets of Cadiz with a tour guide, I noticed this wonderful doorway and the small courtyard and steps to another doorway beyond. Not the best of shooting conditions that morning, but the shot came out better than I expected. I decided against heavy retouching and to let the imperfections in the hallway stay as they were. This was a wonderful find and another unexpected surprise that we found in Cadiz. Although it was not an item on the tour guide’s itinerary, we wouldn’t have found it by ourselves.
a nice day to spend at the beach and have a drink…
This image was taken from a watch tower in Cadiz, Spain. The only editing on did on this one was taking out the color.
I was playing (experimentation work lol) with PS and hit on a combination of effects that I thought was kinda cool. Now if I can only remember how I did it… :-))

Taken in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain. Like Cadiz, this is “white city” where all the walls are washed in white. It looks amazing. All the streets are pretty much this narrow – makes for an interesting driving experience!
In the wee wee hours of the morning here in Jerez, Spain, you can head along to a Pena (pronounced Penya) and see local flamenco artists perform for free. This was the dancer we saw the other night/morning. The stage is usually tiny, packed with singers, guitarists, cajonistas and palmeros, then comes the dancer! It’s smoke, crowded, loud and full of atmosphere. This singer is only 15 and really very good.
I don’t know which species this is yet. This shot was taken in Cadiz, in the south of Spain. If anyone knows, that would be greatly appreciated!
