Sierra Nevada

Holiday is a wonderful thing! You are free to do whatever you want, whenever you want. One morning we have decided to go for a ride in the mountains. We have chosen a road that would lead us toward Enix and Felix - two municipalities in province of Almeria in Andalusia.  We encountered a series of beautiful views from the road. Hills cultivated as much as possible, where almond trees grow on man-made terraces right next to small fields and villages are settled either in the valleys or are plastered to the sides of the hills.  Lovely, picturesque drive. The weather was great, the sky marvelous. Just what we needed to enjoy ourselves a lot!

We have stopped at a village called Felix for a little tour.  It's a charming little town in Andalusia with narrow streets, passages going up and down and houses built very close together just to utilize the limited space.

On the way back we have made a few stops here and there just to capture some more of our surroundings...

It was a marvellous trip and we have enjoyed both the vista and the weather immensely! Sierra Nevada is simply beautiful!

Memories in Colour

Continuing from the previous post, the above photo shows the amount of people that were at the Ukrainian Village that day.  Usually it would be just a picture of a sign..... and no one else.  The following series of pictures were taken at the Ukrainian Village, but this time I decided to leave the colour in.  Enjoy!

Ready, set, go!

Memories of old Alberta

It was a lovely sunny, albeit cool and windy day. Few months ago, my good friend Art and me decided to visit a place where time stands still.  It is a place of memories.  Memories of how people lived and worked and loved this land.  Then you realize that, this was only about 100 years ago.  Not that long ago in the grand scheme of things. The place I'm taking about is the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. It was the last day the Village is open during the year, and it was free admission, so I bet half of population of Canada was there.  This of course proved to be a challenge when trying to take pictures.  Bloody tourists everywhere.  Blind as well.  They would just walk and stand right in front of the camera, completely oblivious of the whole world around them.  Chose the wrong day to visit.  My fault.  Still people or no people it an amazing place to visit, and if you're ever around these parts I urge you to go back in time.
