The theme for the day seemed to be about men working! I watched as a workman high up, stood waiting for a crane driver to swing round another piece of construction, with apparently total confidence that he wouldn't be knocked off his perch! Another worker was cutting down a tree and his colleague standing in the middle of the road pulling on a rope to get the tree to topple towards him!

Para gliders above the beach. Just relaxing with a friend on the beach and along come the buzzing para gliders swooping down and disturbing the mood!

Watching the European cup final in a local bar! Plenty of atmosphere too.
Also watching the zip wire experience having had quite an adventure to get there! We followed a WhatsApp map provided for us and assumed we'd be following at least 'C' roads. We found ourselves on a dirt track however which allowed very little room to manoeuvre, let alone turn around. Reaching a really steep, shaley stretch we decided to turn around regardless of how many point turns it took, even tough we could see a main road directly below us. We made it back alongside a tarmac road, only to find that we had a puncture! Tyre duly changed in stifling heat, we eventually made it to the rendezvous place albeit an hour late!
Even the zip wire wasn't straightforward though! A call at the landing end was misinterpreted and resulted in a slide back to the lowest point before a climb using hand over hand method to reach safety!!

Messing about on the local reservoir wasn't just about canoeing! Whilst there we were treated to fire planes going through their manoeuvres in readiness for the start of the hot, dry summer.

We joined the celebrations of Noche de San Juan on the beach. The beaches were full of people celebrating the occasion in their own ways and readying themselves for a dip in the sea on the stroke of midnight. The atmosphere was incredible although the fireworks at the end weren't up to much!

I'm beginning to feel the stirring of my photography mojo way down low still, however it does feel it may be on the rise. I found myself looking for images other than just when we were at en event. Let's hope things progress from here-on-in!
