i could drink a bucket of tea ...

 

i heat up like a burning flame; gaslight at sheffield park

 

jorge and linda, the valley of the tajo, the montes de toledo

this happy couple are standing at the southern edge of the village of lagartera where they first met way back in the mists of time

the top of santi's staircase

 

staircase built by santi, the baker in lagartera

 

an acorn putting down a root ...

... amongst the debris besides the old track leading up from jarandilla de la vera to el guijo de santa barbara

darkness at noon

swallows taking a battering from the elements during the downpours in la vera
