At the mouth of the Bou Regreg River where it meets the Altantic Ocean is found a a very picturesque setting. Colorful boats pop against the dull color of the water and fortified walls with cannons stand as a reminder to this former pirate town’s past. Rabat is an interesting town mixing old and new and I look forward to photographing more of it.
Photo of the Week: Eye of Child
For this week’s Photo of the Week I was at a loss on what to post. For our month long stay in Denia, Spain we have taken some nice photos, but not too many that make you say “wow!” The only photo that really impressed me this past week was the one I took of my daughter’s eye. My daughter, Sydney, had been watching TV when I was playing around with a macro lens. Since she was transfixed by the Tv and completely motionless with the correct lighting, I thought I would take macro photos of her eye. At first this did not seem like a very good choice for a travel themed photo of the week, but after second thought, it was perfect. You see, we are taking our daughter on a 2-year around the world trip and what she sees through her eyes will be totally different than what we see. She is a mere child of only 8, yet she will see things most people can only dream of seeing and she will see it with an innocence we wish we still had. So, for this weeks photo, I present my daughter’s eye.
Photo of the Week: Green Eyed Cat in Sarcophagus
In an ancient necropolis (city of the dead) in southern France, we came across something dark and creepy. Looking inside a hole in a sarcophagus, which was once housed a corpse, we saw a pair of green eyes starring back at us. Something black lurked within. Our young daughter, Sydney, reached out slowly with a gloved hand toward the creature. The creature within struck out, taking the glove off her hand and pulling it inside the sarcophagus. We knew this was a trap to get us to stick a hand inside the dark hole, something none of us wanted to do. The creature would draw our blood if we dared recover the stolen glove. Thinking quickly, Sydney ran around to the back side of the sarcophagus and screamed at the creature causing it to scurry off towards another dark sarcophagus. We quickly retrieved the glove and made our escape…
Photo of the Week: Torre del Gerro
This week we took a hike south of Denia, Spain to a 16th century watchtower perched on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It was used to spot pirates and marauders that might try to take the city.
Photo of the Week: Les Baux at Night
During our last few days in France, we rented a car to explore some of the medieval hill towns in Provence. One of them was the city and chateau (castle) of Les Baux. We arrived there late in the afternoon and stayed late until sunset when the chateau is lit up by lights. We drove out to an olive orchard down below and got this amazing shot of Les Baux at night.
