Taken on the beach in Málaga. There are several beachfront restaurants that serve “espetos”, which are a special type of sardine only found in the Málaga area. They are skewered on wooden sticks and barbequed in these small boats.

Today’s Photohunter theme is “chipped”.

Here are two photos taken when I was 15 that show my chipped front tooth. A couple of years previously I had been outside on a cold Winnipeg winter night trying to brush snow off the windscreen of the family car and somehow jumped up and slipped at the same time, my face smashing against the glass and breaking my front tooth. Both front teeth have long since been filed down so the chip is less noticable now.

Today’s Photohunter theme is “hat”.

I hope this isn’t considered as cheating but I asked my friend, the lovely & talented Anneke (aka mudhooks), to place this crown (aka very fancy hat) upon the cute little head of Azar (aka my wordpress avatar).
There is a bit of a story behind this photo, which relates to the weekly BBC News Quiz hosted by blog buddy Archie every Friday. The lowest scoring person of the week is given the dreaded Dunce Cap to wear, and anyone getting a perfect 7/7 score is awarded The Crown. After having worn the dunce cap more times now than I care to remember, I was totally gobsmacked when I pulled off a perfect score in the January 9th quiz. And so this week I get The Crown, which as you can see here is a traditional Spanish one and not the poncy St Edward British bling being offered over at the Archives. 😉
