En la localidad murciana de Fortuna se encuentra este camping-balneario.
En el se puede disfrutar de esta magnífica piscina de aguas termales a 36ºC.
Yo voy por allí de visita todos los años y para mi gusto, cuando más se disfruta la piscina, es en un dia nublado y frio como el que aparece en la imágen.

Klara is a Chinese crested dog. She has no fur on the body. So she is resting indoors while the winter storms howl outside.

Apollo arriving at Rosyth for Navy Days - 1984.
HMS Apollo (F70) was a Batch 3B Broadbeam Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). She was, like the rest of the class, named after a figure of mythology. Apollo was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotstoun. She was launched on the 15th October 1970 and commissioned on the 28th May 1972 (the penultimate Leander).
Propulsion: 2 x steam turbines developing 30,000 HP providing a top speed of 28 Knots and a range of 4,000 miles at 15 Knots.
Dimensions: 2,500 tonnes (standard load)/2962 tonnes (full load) displacement; 372 ft length; 43 ft beam and 18 ft draught.
Both the Apollo and the Ariadne are easily distinguished from the other Leanders' by their 'witches hat' - fitted to the top of the foremast as a part of the electronic warfare array.
Apollo was fitted out as a general purpose frigate. Her armaments were: 2 x 4.5 inch (114mm) Vickers 45 Mk6 naval guns mounted in a single twin turret with MRS3/Plessey Type 904 gunnery control system; quadruple Seacat missile launcher platform with GWS22 guidance system; Mk10 anti-submarine triple barrel mortar tubes (auto-load, 92kg warhead); Westland Wasp helicopter and two 20mm Oerlikon heavy machine guns.
She saw her first 'action' during the Second Cod War in 1973, during the fishing disputes with Iceland, when Apollo, while on a Fishery Protection Patrol, was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat V/s Ægiron 29/8/73.
In January 1977 the UK extended its territorial waters from 12 miles to 200 miles to create an Exclusive Economic Zone for fishery rights. Apollo took turns with other frigates to police the North Sea pending the introduction into service of the Island Class fishery protection vessels. This short action was termed 'The Herring War'.
In 1977, Apollo took part in the last Fleet Review of the Royal Navy so far, in celebration of HM the Queen's Silver Jubilee. As Captain of the Second Frigate Squadron, Apollo was responsible for anchorages of all warships at the Royal Fleet Review. In recognition of this work, the admiralty awarded the ship four rather than two 1977 QEII Silver Jubilee Medals. Apollo was positioned in the middle of HM ships Hardy and Salisbury.
Apollo was intended to be modernised, which would have included the removal of her one 4.5-in twin gun, which would have been replaced by the Exocet anti-ship missile, but the modernisation was cancelled due to the 1981 Defence Review by the minister John Nott. In July 1982, Apollo was sent to patrol the South Atlantic in the aftermath of the Falklands War and returned home in September. In late 1983, Apollo once again returned to the South Atlantic. On this occasion Apollo encountered heavy seas in the South Atlantic that damaged her hull.
In 1988, Apollo's Royal Navy career came to an end when she was decommissioned and subsequently sold to Pakistan, being renamed PNS Zulfiqar. From 1991-93 she underwent a major refit - 20mm and seacat system replaced by twin 25mm mounts, Westland Wasp replaced by SA 319B Alouette III helicopter (standard PN helo). Zulfiqar continued in service for 18 years with the Pakistan Navy until 29 October 2006 when she was decommissioned into training

This is the one of the first images in a series I'll be undertaking over the rest of the year at least. Big image has more tone, this seems to have reproduced a bit dark. One halogen light and bounced flash. Couldn't get offboard flash to work for some reason so I bounced the big flash from the camera and used the new halogen floodlight as the main. Bumped ISO up and got this!
I had a female and male model set up. Then I lost the girl to a work committment. Found another and lost her. Was just going to do a solo shoot with the guy, but then the girl who was going to do hair heard that I couldn't find another model who had the right wardrobe, she grabbed some stuff and came right over.
Turns our the guy who had arranged to come for the shoot was a no-show. Will be interesting to see what the explanation will be.

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken down man - and as I opened up the door
She said - while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you're dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought - hell if it's over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me
Have you forgotten

The Red Apple Rest was a cafeteria-style restaurant on New York State Route 17, in the Southfields section of Tuxedo, New York. It was a noted way station for people travelling to the hotels of the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.
Before the New York State Thruway was built, the travel time from New York City to the Catskill Mountains was often four or five hours, especially during weekends. The Red Apple Rest, located almost halfway, became a major roadside stopping place. The restaurant was opened during May 1931 by Reuben Freed
The Red Apple Rest had much business during the 1940s and 1950s. It was open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and was patronized by so-called "Borscht Belt" comedians and professional athletes as well as families travelling to campgrounds and resorts. The Thruway, which was built beginning 1953, bypassed the restaurant, and vacationing in the Catskill Mountains also became less popular after the 1960s. The restaurant remained very busy until the 1970s, however, and during 1965 served one million customers.
In his book on Jewish comedians in America, The Haunted Smile, author Lawrence J. Epstein said that comedians would stop at the Red Apple Rest late at night and "would go over the acts, describe the audience, and gather gossip about the other comedians and about routines ripe for buying or 'borrowing.'
The Red Apple Rest went through several changes of management. It closed during 2006, and was condemned on January 23, 2007 because of roof damage.[
The restaurant was featured in several movies, including Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry, A Walk on the Moon and Oliver's Story.
