Travel topics
For me and my wife, travelling and being on holiday is not the same. 'Baking'
on a beach is nothing for us. Travelling to the Costa Blanca, Benidorm,
means renting a car and exploring the inland, enjoying the landscape and
photographing the wild flora. No beach can offer this beauty!!
Yet it is not so easy
to make a tight scedule and division of the subjects. Is photographing
of wild flowers a part of travelling. For me it is! The vulcans on La
Palma, is it a matter of nature or travelling? Moreover, last years we
travel a lot to Spain, Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Andalusia and this
year to La Palma, on of the Canary Islands.
Quite often I am
in the USA, most for Conventions of the American Rhododendron Society or
travelling through the mountains looking for the native Azaleas there.
And before the 'digital revelution' in Canada, the Rocky Mountins or
Nova Scotia, making slides. That's why I have thousands of slides,
sorted and ready to be scanned. This will be 'work' for next winter
2007\8.
Churches will be
a special subject with a separate page and albums. Wildflowers of
the Costa Blanca and La Palma you will find on the page 'plants' with
connected albums and La Palma also at the topic 'nature'.
