After the rain there are always puddle to make use of. We call this building Pigeon Hotel as the pigeons have made it their own and are always flying in and out. It has quite a history. This building is known as Cortijo Torrente, which can be dated between the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a rustic mansion, as a recreation house and farmhouse for the exploitation of fruit orchards and others. The stables, patios, stables and other agricultural and service buildings behind it have disappeared. Supposedly it has protection as a monument and that is why it was not demolished by the developer of the urbanization, which theoretically should have recovered and rehabilitated the building as a community infrastructure. The residents could rescue the matter because it may interest them and we would recover a very interesting historical property

Reflections in windows of a block of apartments under construction. These blocks comprise a design of straight lines, are painted white throughout and remind me of rabbit hutches. I was so pleased to note how the reflections disturbed that rigidness!

Potato crops already showing a week after planting and other nearby land is being readied for next crop. The egrets love to follow the machines as the soil gets tilled and make the most of this activity.

There's snow in the air and it's cold! As the sun went down so Mount Maroma was lit up and all the ridges and lower hills were visible.

A walk through an olive grove looking towards the mountain. Is that a dusting of snow hiding beneath the cloud?

It may be cold, however the sun still shines and gives opportunity to capture images such as the sea shimmering in reflected sunlight.

Looking for abstract subjects I homed in on rock strata. I then took each of the different colour tones and increased their tones to an extreme.

Christmas display in Malaga. Known for iconic displays at Christmas, this year the lights are the same as last year and there's no musical accompaniment. Attracting crownds is not a good idea.

Passing the lake, the reflections simply called out to be photographed, so I obliged! It was a beautiful, still day with fluffy white clouds; ideal for a B&W image.

I had a go at capturing Jupiter and Saturn. This image is the best of a bad bunch! I shall have another go and see if I can't get them somewhat clearer.

Not sure if my inspiration is at a low level or the Christmas lights did leave a lot to be desired this year. I really had a job finding anything much to photograph and in the end decided to make one of my images much more festive!

Last image of the year from a favourite area. This time I looked for views away from the Lake rather than into it.
