This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “mailbox”…
These four mailbox slots are on the outside wall of the main post office in Sevilla. You can just about make out that the two on the left are for mail going to Sevilla and Madrid (click to enlarge). The other two on the right are for the provinces and foreign countries.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “station”…
To (mis)quote the late great Douglas Adams… it can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression “as pretty as a bus station.” However, I have never seen such a blatant attempt to make one even uglier. Until now.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “basket”…
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a laundry basket
full of fresh clean towels must be in want of a kitten.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “wood”…
Most people don’t realise that Sevilla’s Metropol Parasol (aka The Mushrooms) are made of wood, but it is actually the world’s largest wooden structure. I think they look more obviously “wooden” at night.

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “flower”…
Every spring in Sevilla the orange trees blossom and their flower is called azahar in Spanish. It’s actually an Arabic word that simply means “white flower”. The first time I smelled the lovely fragrance of orange blossom in the air almost twenty years ago I was transported to a very happy place and that is why I chose azahar as my internet nickname. Previously I’d found a little black cat in the street and I called him Azar, or “happenstance”, loving the play on words and that both words were pronounced the same (or near enough). And now that I have my very own orange tree on the terrace I am hoping to have my very own azahar next spring.
