Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Seville is the capital of the province of Andalusia. It has a colorful history dating back to the Romans. The Metropol Parasol was built in 2011, locally known as Las Setas - the Mushrooms. It is the landmark of Seville today. Designed as a giant sunshade with its 30 m high mushroom-like pillars by the German architect Jürgen Mayer. Perhaps the world's largest wooden structure. Elevators run from the basement to the top. It has a beautiful view of the city via a winding walkway from the wavy honeycomb roof.
Enjoy the most beautiful journey around the most important places of the city of Seville. Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in 2011. Next to the big modern structure of the Parasol is the Iglesia de la Anunciación Anno 1565. The Church of the Anunciacion has some good artwork and a golden Altar. It also has a nice organ over the doorway. Nice to visit or or to sit down and reflect.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Sevilla is de hoofdstad van de provincie Andalusië. Het heeft een kleurrijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de Romeinen. Je treft er schitterende historische gebouwen, maar ook tapasbars waar ze de lekkerste gerechten serveren. En natuurlijk de flamenco niet te vergeten. Het Metropol Parasol is gebouwd in 2011, lokaal bekend als Las Setas de Champignons. Het is vandaag de dag het herkenningspunt van Sevilla. Ontworpen als een gigantisch zonnescherm met zijn 30 m hoge paddestoelachtige pilaren door de Duitse architect Jürgen Mayer. Wellicht werelds grootste houten structuur. Liften lopen van de kelder naar de top. Via een kronkelende loopbrug vanaf het golvend honinggraatdak heeft het een prachtig uitzicht over de stad. Naast de Parasol staat de Iglesia de la Anunciación. De kerk van Anunciacion uit 1565 heeft een aantal goede kunstwerken en een gouden altaar. Het heeft ook een mooi orgel boven de deuropening. Leuk om te bezoeken of om te gaan zitten en na te denken.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 26th of August is “sun protection”. In the last two years, I have been exploring a new avenue in my photographic creativity, that of portraiture photography. I used a somewhat illusive sitter for several “Smile on Saturday” themes in the past. My model has kindly returned to sit for me yet again for this theme. My sitter has very pale, English skin, which burns in the harsh sunshine, goes red, peels, and goes back to white again. So, he is shy of the sun, which makes him the perfect choice of this week’s theme as he wears sunhats, sunglasses and has even been known to sit beneath a sunshade or parasol when the sun is too strong. He is a firm believer in sun protection. He tells me that one warm summer’s day he carelessly forgot to take his wide brimmed Panama with him to work, and when he went out for a half hour at luncheon, because he was caught in the heat of the day, he returned to his office very red! Now that is sensitive skin! No wonder he is shy of the sun.
My model sports his own John Varvatos sunglasses and Luton Hats Panama which he tells me he has worn for well over twenty years. He holds one of my antique parasols from the 1920s which features a suitably beach like chequered pattern. Made by S. Fox and Company, it is an exuberant example of roaring 20s fun! I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
