rock 1

Today’s Photohunter theme is “rock(s)”.

This is a photo of Gibraltar – aka The Rock – taken in December 2007. It was my third attempt to get there. The first time I’d left my passport at home, thinking my Spanish identity card would suffice. Wrong. The second time I had my bags packed and just before leaving I double checked that I had my passport, flipped it open … and it had expired two weeks previously!  Third time lucky. And I was finally able to stock up on underwear at Marks & Spencer!

Below is another photo of The Rock, taken from a nearby village called San Roque (Saint Rock).

garbage

Today’s Photohunter theme is “garbage”.

I ask you … have you ever seen anything so ugly? These are the garbage disposal receptacles that were installed a few years ago in the centre of Seville – the city with the largest preserved old centre in Europe. They are part of an underground “suck it up” disposal system that works okay most of the time, but could they not have designed a receptacle that didn’t look like R2D2 on a bad day? They are just so jarring to the eye in comparison to the beautiful architecture here. Ironically, newer receptacles that have been installed in other less pretty parts of town are much more pleasing to look at. Go figure.

race for life

Today’s Photohunter theme is “pink”.

Am bending the rules a bit as this photo was taken for me not by me (I also posted it here last month, but what the heck). My friend Sara and her mum – both cancer survivors – took part in the central London Race For Life at the end of May. Sara’s husband Steve took this photo and sent it to me. It made me cry happy tears and feel very loved indeed.

I’m Shawn.

Today’s Photohunter theme is “flags”.

This photo shows banners from a recent public holiday (Corpus Christi) that have the flags of Andalucía, Spain and Sevilla in front of them. Oh, and that’s my street.

photohunter creamy

Today’s Photohunter theme is “creamy”.

In keeping with the whole anti-cancer thang, have been trying to include more antioxidents in my diet. One of the most delicious ways has been making fruit & yoghurt smoothies for breakfast. This one has blueberries, melon, banana, natural yoghurt … and also some greek yoghurt to make it extra creamy.
