* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year
The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
In spite of saving this toads life at least a couple of dozen times over the course of a summer season he does not look impressed with my efforts. Apparently my porch was the place to be that summer if you were a toad however I had several dogs that made it their quest to catch and not release this dude. He turned the porch into his own personal vacation villa. I found him on several mornings swimming and relaxing in the dogs water bowl. There were a few occasions when I opened my kitchen door to look for him before I put the dogs out and he was sitting staring at my door only about 2 inches away. I swear I could hear him knock sometimes......ha ha. It had a good ending as the dogs were not successful in having toad legs for dinner that entire summer.
The cone of the Licancabur (5916 m - 19409 ft) dominates us from its full height. On its right is the Juriques (5,704 m - 18714 ft).
The Licancabur owes its name to the Indians of Atacama, and means mountain or volcano of the people (lican-cabur).
This mythical volcano, asleep but not considered extinct, is the real postcard of the region of San Pedro de Atacama and Lipez. It marks the border between Chile and Bolivia.
From its height of 5916 m (19409 ft), it dominates the Atacama Salar at Chilean side, and the Laguna Verde in Bolivia. This stratovolcano has a crater, located in Chile and 400 m in diameter, with a lake of 90 m by 70 m in its center.
The Licancabur also houses many Inca ruins and a sanctuary at its summit; it was an eminently important place for the pre-Columbian cultures of the region.

Un volcan impressionnant
Le cône du Licancabur (5916 m) nous domine de toute sa hauteur. A sa droite, on voit aussi le Juriques (5,704 m).
Le Licancabur doit son nom aux indiens d'Atacama, et signifie montagne ou volcan du peuple (lican-cabur).
Ce volcan mythique, endormi mais non considéré comme éteint, est la véritable carte postale de la région de San Pedro de Atacama et du Lipez. Il marque la frontière entre le Chili et la Bolivie.
Du haut de ses 5916 m, il domine notamment le salar d’Atacama coté chilien, et la laguna verde en Bolivie. Ce stratovolcan possède un cratère, situé au Chili et de 400 m de diamètre, avec en son centre un lac de 90 sur 70 m.
Le Licancabur abrite également de nombreuses ruines Incas ainsi qu’un sanctuaire en son sommet ; il fut un lieu éminemment important pour les cultures précolombiennes de la région.

It humbly reminds me of Pablo Picasso's saying: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Tuition
Taken on a three-day workshop that I ran last week in Dorset.
Arriving on the beach at Durdle Door in the middle of the afternoon during harsh light and pure blue skies have you stand and look around at what you can capture that might be even remotely interesting and unusual.
Then I spotted this lovely small cave-like indentation in the white chalky cliffs known as Bat's Head. What were the challenges in shooting from this viewpoint I hear you ask? lol.
Well, for starters, there's not much room in there and setting up a tripod is almost impossible. You certainly need a small travel tripod to even have a chance of setting it up. I had a huge tripod with me so I decided to shoot this scene handheld and furthermore I only needed to capture the scene once despite harsh contrast and a crazy depth of field issue. Saying that my Canon EOS R coped impeccably with the stabilisation of the image, the great depth of field leaving everything sharp to look at, from the rim of the cave to Durdle Door itself as well as the dynamic range coping with the varying degree of light.
The more I use the Canon EOS R, the more impressed I am with it.
