Anoche te vi, Santa María
Yo recuerdo la perla ay gitanita mia cuando no estabas en via
Mira que pelito, mira que carita, que andares llevabas
Flores a tu paso los balonces tiraban, ¡ay! tiraban.
For the record... There is nowhere (!!!!) a well made flamenco dress! So i had to impro it somehow!

And Reservoir (out of view to the right), in the hills above Walsden and Todmorden... West Yorkshire, UK
Along the Dorset coast. Gad Cliffs in the foreground leading to Warbarrow Bay and the white cliffs of Mupe Bay. Out on the hazy horizon is Portland.
780ft above sea level, with stoodley pike (pennine way) visible in the distance... There is a small 'beach' at the far corner which attracts swimmers.
382) Blyth’s Paradise Flycatcher
Blyth's Paradise Flycatcher, Oriental Paradise Flycatcher, Terpsiphone affinis, Murai Ekor Gading
This species can be found from southern China to Sumatra. Formerly, it was considered a subspecies of the Asian paradise flycatcher until elevated to species rank by the IOC in 2015. Another totally protected species in Peninsular Malaysia.
This was the last bitterly cold morning of the winter. I hiked up in the dark and found the early morning light reflected on the ice - exactly what I’d hoped for!
This area of the coastline is part of the South Coastal long distance footpath but the land belongs to the military for training. It is open for most weekends throughout the year and at the major holiday periods. The walking is restricted to footpaths which are marked by yellow posts which you have to stay within due to unexploded shells. We were walking the area on Saturday 11th of April and was stopped for 20 minutes until they made an area safe by blowing up an unexploded device. All walkers have to be at least 300 yards away from the site detonation. Most of the unexploded shells date back to the Second World War when testing was being done. Today these are uncovered by the new shells fired by the tanks. It is probably one of the most dangerous coastal paths to walk in the UK if you decide to go outside the markers. Some people do !!!!! At the end of the cliff you can then drop down into the valley where the village of Tyneham used to be. In Nov 1943 the villagers were given notice to leave and that the area was required for training. The last villager left on the 17th Dec 1943 and sadly none of them ever returned. Only the church and the small school house remains intact. All of the surrounding land and the coastal section is still used for military training.

East to Hammat Gader is the place of two crucial battles in the Holy Land - fought in the Yarmuk valley. The Arabs battled against the Byzantine armies in two battles - the 1st Yarmuk battle (634 AD) and the 2nd Yarmuk battle (August 20, 636). The 2nd battle was an important milestone - it signaled the end of the Roman/Byzantine presence of 560 years.
The site was destroyed after the Arab conquest. Many years later it was rebuilt and the town was named El-Kham
Blick auf die Gaden der Kirchenburg Euerbach. Bei den Gaden handelt es sich um die Lagerkeller der Burganlage. Hier sieht man auch sehr schön den kulissenartigen Aufbau der Scheunen und Keller.
After a 2.5 mile hike in really strong wind Andy Farrer and I got to this point close to Gad Cliff and decided this was the spot for todays session.
Unfortunately sunrise was a bit of a disappointment but the dark clouds and sky made for a quite moody scene and after walking all that way I was not going back with an empty memory card !!!
