Even the Hunchback of Notre Dame wants peace!! I know you are not used to see these kind of shots in my stream, but after my daughter's surgery, I haven't had so much time to go out for photoshooting. I took this one today very early in my garden, playing with the 50mm f 1.8 lense that I don't use too much :( Thank u in advance for your visit and cheers from Honduras!!

España - Málaga - Ronda - Baños árabes
ENGLISH
This thermal building of the arab time is the best conserved of its kind at the Iberian Peninsula. It is located at the old arab quarter of the city, today called San Miguel Quarter, being the formerly outside quarter of the arab medina (city) of Ronda.
The bahts were built near the Arroyo de las Culebras (snakes' stream), a perfect place in order to be provided of water, which was moved by a waterwheel, in an current perfect conservation state.
The chronology of the Ronda arab bahts starts at the 13th-14th centuries. The bath is divided into three main zones, following the Roman model of thermal buildings:cold water, warm water and hot water bathrooms. The hydraulic system of the thermal bath has arrived to our days almost complete. The central room is the biggest and has got three parts, separated by four pairs of horseshoe arches above bricks and stone columns, which have the function of holding up barrel vaults, with nice skylights forming stars, closed with glass.
The building is surrounded by one wall with blind arches (no light can be seen through them) and has got at its end a tower containing the waterwheel structure. The boiler area is also conserved, where the water was heated, as well as rests of a tannery, which was the main activity of this place after the christian conquest of the city, which meant that the use of the building as thermal baths was neglected.

ESPAÑOL
Los Baños Arabes de Ronda, de época nazarí (s. XIII-XIV), están situados en la zona de la antigua judería y, a pesar de su extraordinario interés arquitectónico, fueron abandonados (la moral cristiana no permitía ciertas prácticas), y las crecidas del río Guadalevín acabaron sepultándolos. Al encargar la Duquesa de Parcent la construcción de unos jardines en esta zona, aparecieron sus primeros restos, aunque se obviaron hasta que en 1935 el yacimiento fue adquirido por el Estado. Las excavaciones realizadas hasta ahora han permitido rescatar las tres salas de baño (fría, templada y caliente) y las cubiertas con bóvedas de cañón (horadadas por tragaluces en forma de estrella), que se comunican por arcos de medio punto. Se conservan, además, parte de las calderas y de los sistemas de conducción de agua.
Cuentan con la singularidad de conservar completa su estructura, con las diferentes estancias e instalaciones que lo organizaban, siendo los más grandes y mejor conservados de la Península Ibérica. Curiosamente se situaban extramuros de la ciudad, en el Antiguo Arrabal Islámico de la Ciudad, actualmente denominado Barrio de San Miguel en el extraradio de lo que fue en su momento la Medina Musulmana de Ronda. Fueron construidos junto al Arroyo de las Culebras, lugar perfecto para el abastecimiento de agua, que se desplazaba a través de un sistema de noria, perfectamente conservado en la actualidad.
La sala central es la más grande y consta de tres cuerpos, separados mediante cuatro pares de arcos de herradura sobre columnas de ladrillo y piedra, que sostienen bóvedas de cañón (semiesféricas) con bellos tragaluces en forma de estrella cerrados con cristales. El edificio está cercado con un muro de arcos ciegos, que forman el acueducto, y tiene una torre al fondo con una caja de noria. Del mismo modo conserva el área de calderas donde se calentaba el agua, así como restos de las curtidurías, actividad principal en el lugar una vez que se abandonó el uso como baños tras la conquista cristiana de la ciudad.

Jeannie collects broken pottery and glass from all around Randsburg and makes stars by connecting the pieces with twisted wire. I don't usually photograph people, but she was so unique and friendly :-) Of course I had to buy one, and when I go back tomorrow I hope she is around so I can get a couple more :-)
P.S. Thanks Lara for reminding me of her name :-)
Update: Jeannie passed away some time ago, I miss seeing her when I go to Randsburg, she was very special.

An inversion layer on a cold autumnal afternoon in November near Markethill. The sun has just gone down leaving some nice colour in the Belt of Venus. Taken handheld at f4.0 as the fog was moving around a bit and the scene was ever changing. St John's Parish Church Mullabrack is clearly visible poking out of the fog in this shot.

Taken in the lovely village of Gaucin - up in the moutains of Andalusia. I liked the lead in lines of the road way curving it's way through this picture postcard Spanish village.
Went on a deer hunt earlier at Grindleford near Sheffield, the light was lovely, at first lol.
I just realised why deer are called deer..... Because it's so expensive lol.
Anyway, for some reason, I was shooting in JPG, yes JPG, I do like the shots, but wondering why it's set to JPG as I have never ever used it since I had my DSLR.
