ENGLISH

The ground plan of the Watch Tower (Torre de la Vela) is of 16 meters x 16 meters and its elevation is of 26,80 meters. It has a solid base and four floors with arches supported by pillars. During some time this tower was used as a dwelling, so it was modified. On the second floor there were merlons until the 16th century. In 1840 the current bell was put on the western façade and it had to be rebuilt in 1882 because a bolt of lightning damaged it.

The bell is an important element of this tower. Its chime used to indicate the farmers of the Vega, the meadow of the valley, the hours when they had to water the fields at night. The bell started striking at 8 or 9.30 p. m. and it kept doing so at different intervals with different chimes until 3 or 4 a. m., depending on the season. This bell was also used to call the inhabitants of Granada in case of danger. Nowadays, it is only on January 2nd that the Watch Tower and its bell are in the minds of all the inhabitants of the city. That was the date when the Catholic Monarchs took the city and the tradition says that every young woman who is still single and who strikes the bell, will get married before the end of the year.

The view from the top of the tower is marvellous, as it is possible to enjoy at the same time, the city of Granada, the Sierra Nevada, the Vega and the villages of the surroundings.

CASTELLANO

La planta de la Torre de la Vela mide 16 metros de lado y 26,80 metros de alto. La base es maciza y tiene cuatro pisos con arcos apeados por pilares. Durante algún tiempo, esta torre se convirtió en vivienda, por lo que su aspecto ha cambiado con respecto al que tuvo en sus orígenes. En el segundo piso tuvo almenas hasta el siglo XVI. La ubicación actual de la campana en la fachada occidental es de 1840 y tuvo que ser reconstruída posteriormente debido a la caida de un rayo en 1882.

La campana es la gran protagonista de esta torre. Antiguamente, su toque servía como reloj nocturno a los agricultores de la Vega para regar sus campos. Comenzaba a sonar de 8 a 9:30 de la noche, y seguía sonando a distintos intervalos y con distintos toques hasta las 3 o las 4 de la mañana, según la estación del año. Esta campana también ha servido para llamar a los granadinos en caso de peligro. Hoy en día, es el día 2 de enero de cada año cuando la torre de la Vela y su campana recuperan el protagonismo que tuvo antaño. En conmemoración de la fecha en la que los Reyes Católicos tomaron Granada, existe una tradición por la cual todas las muchachas solteras de la ciudad que hagan sonar la campana el 2 de enero de cada año, contraerán matrimonio antes de que termine el año.

El paisaje que podemos observar desde la torre es maravilloso, ya que es posible disfrutar de un solo vistazo de una panorámica de la ciudad, Sierra Nevada, la vega y los pueblos de los alrededores.

Aurora Red Alert by Dave Sutherland

We got the Aurora Watch Red Alert message around 9:10 PM, the first time we've had one on a clear night in a long time around here.

We didn't want to drive too far to get shots, so I found a little acerage subdivision north of Sherwood Park that would be reasonably dark. We waited around for about an hour, with nothing to see except a pretty awesome sunset, but no auroras, so we packed up and started to go.

We hadn't driven more than a minute when the sky expoded in front of us with one of the most amazing aurora displays I have yet seen. We quickly drove back to the acerage, unpacked, and took a few shots. The display only lasted maybe 10 minutes, but we weren't disappointed. It was an amazing sight.

The glow on the horizon is the city glow of Edmonton. Given how bright that is, it should help emphasize how bright these auroras were.

Alert Red Squirrel by David Walker

I realise with the wonders of the World Wide Web and flickr we are able to share our images across countries and continents and thought it might be worth sharing a little bit of information on the red squirrels that I have spent a fair bit of time with in recent weeks.

The red squirrel is native to Britain, but its future is increasingly uncertain as the introduced American grey squirrel expands its range across the mainland. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys. Sadly endangered throughout the UK as vast tracts of land become the domain of their dominant, non-native grey cousins, red squirrels are relatively easy to spot in Scotland, which is home to three quarters of the British population. The bushy tail and tufted ears combine to make the red squirrel one of the country's most endearing mammals.

As the end of winter approaches the red squirrel will lose the impressive tufted ears and much of their winter coat so I thought this is a good time to capture some of their behaviour while they still look in prime condition. The red squirrel is extremely agile and prefers to travel from tree to tree rather than on the ground. They always seem to be on the move, whether it be chasing on another or searching for food and they manage to perform various acrobatics along the way and this is what I have tried to capture in this series of images.
