Desert town

Santisteban del Puerto, Andalusia, Spain.

Early in the winter morning, after everybody went to the field at the outskirt of the town, every street is desert....in fact it is perfectly normal considering that we are in Andalusian Day that is a holiday. All that special conditions together are the cause of that sensation of a ghost town.

French country time




My ancient home in Chécy, France, as it was on September 2012, seen from the rear part of the house.






My mother's canaries in the kitchen early in the morning.









Flowers in the garden. I don't know anything about flowers, I haven't the green hand, but I appreciate so much the beauty of nature.






My favorite place in the evenings, just after lunch, when the sun is at top and the calm is so deep.







Butterflies and roses in the front part of the house's garden.















Tomatoes, just before their maturity, in a little vegetable garden in the rear part of the house















So brilliant colors.









A wonderful "Buddha Gautama" and many figures on the top of the chimney. They're from many different places of the world: Egypt, Scotland, Thailand, India, etc...









Lunch time, at 12:00 o'clock in France. In September, summer time, it's very common to cook on barbecues. At that time of the day, at summer, all the neighborhood smells barbecued food.





















Coffee time, my favorite moment of the day, when everybody is relaxed just after lunch, enjoying flavors, natural sounds and fragrances that fills inside.



























Incredible shapes of colors and many kinds of textures that enjoy the eyes all around you.






Canaries are very "happy" birds, always singing, specially in the morning, making happy al the day







































The old watermill of Olivet. A place where I went with my parents since I was a baby. It's a wonderful place, very green as a wood. A typical french natural sight, very similar to impressionist paintings.
