Still no luggage. With two hours before our ship sailed, we had to buy a few necessities. Expensive clothes, priceless view.
A lunch time excursion for some more "urban spelunking". I can safely say that no one is going into this house but us. Not a surprise. But everything seems to be exactly as it was. Spent the entire lunch hour in there, and couldn't pass up this in the kitchen on the way out.
The History of the "Salinas de Calpe"
In the 19th & 20th century, the salt flats were important to Calpe. The salt marshes and fishing were key to the economy of the town. Salt was a necessity for food preservation, which Calpe used to market their catch. During the Roman era, salt production was combined with the fish farm, achieving its greatest splendor in the 2nd century AD. The salt flats acquired great importance throughout history, eventually supplying over 40 municipalities.
Their decline began to be evident at the end of the 18th century, when they became the focus of infections that caused fevers among the population. Later there were various attempts to make them operational again, including by Vicente Buigues, known as "Ti MarguÃ", who started the modern exploitation of the salt flats, which ended in the late 1980s. In 1993 they were declared a maritime-terrestrial zone.
Every year, a campaign is held to clean up the Salinas. With the wetlands lying close to busy roads a lot of rubbish collects in vegetation around the Salinas. Last year 40 volunteers helped clean up the Salinas, collecting in total over 1,000 kilos of waste.

I WAS going to make this "rant" all about the shitty morning I had, but I couldn't. That would have, in my mind, defeated the purpose of the picture.
I take these pictures for one reason - to get donations. Not money, I certainly don't gain anything financially. I post the pictures, tell peoples stories, and put a name and a life to the faces. I ask friends on Facebook for donations of clothing and food.
I don't expect people to donate brand new stuff. I just let them know that, before they just throw that pair of pants out, I can give to someone who needs it for at least a couple of months until it gets destroyed.
Doing this has helped me realize a couple of things. First, I have it WAY better than I used to think I did. Any one of these guys would kill to have my tiny apartment and my stack of bills I "won" in my divorce. Two, there ARE still good people out there. Even with all the craziness going on and uncertainty in peoples lives, they are contacting me with things they want to donate.
On a morning like today and the "other" people I encountered, I have to keep reminding myself of that.
OK, I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

Saw this kid picking up trash and stuff near Covelandia Resort... And I ask the kid what are you doin? He said, I'm going to sell this plastics so that we can have money to buy food(spoken in Ilocano language). Kinda makes me think about how lucky I am...
My disgust for dependence on numbers and all the problems it causes. I'm sure Benjamin didn't want his face on such an empty piece of material anyway. For such an intelligent person, I cannot fathom why one would want to be portrayed in such a way. And naturally, fire is the most fun art tool I have ever used.. what am I saying? Fire is the most fun tool, period.
You bet all these bare necessities wouldn't fit into my little purse?
Then you know nothing of lady's little friends! They never cease to amaze me because they seem to live their own life. One can be flabbergusted by the sheer amount of stuff that can be kept inside, they are like little black holes, which is of course very nice of them because a lady should have everything she needs at any moment. But sometimes they get stubborn, and a simple task of getting a lipstick turns into an endless game of hide-n-seek, again a little black hole's feature, not a good one this time. You have to cherish your purse and it will let you fish out the exactly one thing you need at the first go.
Did I manage to convince you? ;-)))

TAGGED BY Siáma and Andymy
So, here is the tagged game: Take a photo of your doll with her favourite purse and then another shot to show what's in her purse. Everyone knows the contents of a lady's purse is a mystery that can reveals her personality. ;) Post the pics in your flickr and tag your friends.
The time I was home, I could see their joy. They hovered passed the wooden reefs and clamoured for space on the side of the aquarium.
Watched in such amusement for they have all been so accustomed to my feedings.
Gently the fingers sparkled and sprinkled some Japaneses sushi to their delight, these moments made things look some much simpler and happier.
Back to my desk, and suddenly without warning, he shocked and swam in madness! My disbelieve and horror with the sight that kept me on edge. Again without warning his fins completely stopped and eyes blank solemn stares he gazed. A tear was begging to appease the distress....for he quickly turned pale and no more with life.
But as soon as the heart began to sulk, his whole body came back to colour like a light bulb being switched on.
The necessity to cry began turning into happiness, but in all sadness he was not longer the same. Seven days he took, seven days he lived,seven days he loved... thus the passing of a friend.
Built in the Castle era, this humble mountain village has but the bare necessities: A windmill, a church, and a few homes. Small shops are set up on the street, and everything is available to live a peaceful, quiet life on the mountain.
I had a decent amount of free time this summer, and instead of doing nothing I figured I would take out the Lego again and build something! I'm really pleased with the outcome of the build, and it now sits proudly in my room for anyone that stops by. :) The Lego is now stored away again and I'm in the full swing of school, theatre and making music. I hope you enjoy!

Those of you who are good enough to take the time to read these irreverent diversions may be aware that deep within the bowels of my camera bag lurks a 16-35mm lens, which has had a bit of a colourful history since it came into my possession. I bought it at the beginning of last year, not long after I'd decided to go full frame as it seemed an obvious necessity for the trip to Iceland the following summer. Within the first six months of owning it, it had almost vanished over the edge of the cliffs at St Agnes Head; it had survived a tumble on the secret beach in front of the famous sea stacks of Reynisdrangar in Iceland (my favourite 6 stop filter sacrificed itself to save the lens there); and it had taken a nasty jolt as I damaged both myself and my camera equipment during the split second it occurred to me that a slipway in Majorca might be slippery - at which point I was suspended in mid air over hard concrete. Following this series of near disasters I concluded the lens was cursed and resolved to limit its future use for the safety of my camera and myself.

You can't read about the final instalment in this sad trilogy, because I didn't get a shot worth sharing. Nobody is going to be interested in a bit of sky filled motion blur when Majorca has so much more to offer the visitor.
Somehow, and I'm not sure whether I consider this is good luck or just that Canon like to build gear that can take a bit of abuse, the lens has survived all of these incidents. It's just that I barely ever use it, a bad thing because unloved lenses begin to look unloved very quickly and I've already lost a couple of older (and fortunately less frighteningly priced) lenses to fungus. Nowadays if I ask it to auto focus it groans a bit, tries whirring halfheartedly for a moment or two in a pathetic attempt to persuade me it's trying before it beeps at me plaintively as a red square appears on the viewfinder. It's a bit like having an elderly overweight dog that looks at the beach it used to bound across effortlessly before turning to gaze back at me as if to say "Nah! I'll just sit here. You go on without me. I'll be alright"
So last night I decided the old dog was getting some exercise. I'd been here with Lee a couple of months earlier on a superb evening when the beach was empty at low tide, patterns all over the sand with hundreds of tiny pools of seawater trapped in them. On that evening my attempt to catch a series of panels for a panorama had failed - they usually do with seascapes - but I reasoned I might get a decent result with the wide angle lens, which does a better job of getting a sharp image from back to front in any case. Or at least it does when it wants to play. Lee has told me half a dozen times about the place he recommends for a repair. I'm not very organised though.
Of course the beach had no such tiny pools on this occasion, and naturally the shot I've shared with you was taken at 33mm meaning I could have taken it with my much more compliant 24-70mm lens. But still, the old dog led me to this composition long after sunset, although the sense of utter calm is a lie because a large and noisy family had decided to invade my space and were standing right behind me throwing stones into the pool for a real dog called Spencer to race in after, something he did with a deal of enthusiasm. At some point I sensed Spencer sniffing the backs of my legs, but I pretended not to notice. Eventually and to my lasting relief, Spencer and his humans moved on to torment some other oddball loner and left this one to his own company.
But the old dog had won the day, and during the session the other two lenses remained in the bag untouched. I came away in almost total darkness feeling chastened by the experience, which had reminded how good this lens will be when I finally get around to sending it off to be repaired. I'd better phone Lee and get him to tell me who to use for a seventh time then.
Assorted travel necessities are needed before I Hit The Road.

Reconnecting with my old friend Bear, who always manages to bring a smile to my face. A true bear necessity!
Explored on 26 May 2009!
The pier at Whitby, Yorkshire, England. Got up at 4.30 AM (...) to capture the sunrise. It started out with rain, but we didn't get up for nothing, as after a while the rain turned into sunshine and we had the most gorgeous sunrise! Big smiles on our faces because of this AND because there was, of course, nobody there ;-)
Another long exposure using my ND110 filter. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but I think of it as a necessity already!
