    Thursday’s Task

    2 from Spain. This one was easy and fairly safe I have never had to push and pull an image as much as this on. Getting here was tricky and not terribly sensible as every so often a larger wave came fast into the cave. 30 minutes after this image the beach was cleared as it was getting too...

    Winged Wednesday — 6/17/2026: Tanagers

    This is poor technically but I set out 2 years ago to photograph swifts. This is the best so far, it is shot through double glazing which takes some of the sharpness away. Ken

    Northern Spain day 3 part 3

    Playa de Gueirua was one of the locations that I wanted to visit. The sea stacks just look like something out of a Sci Fi fantasy. Like many of the coves and beaches in this part of Northern Spain you need to hike in and then make your way down a cliff face. This location has a path and a tiny...

    Northern Spain day 3, part 2 Playa de Portizuelo

    This was a new beach for me but I had seen posts from here and knew that I had to visit on a low'ish falling tide. Unfortunately the tide wasn't quite low enough for me to visit the sea caves, more on tides later but at least the rain stopped and the light improved. Getting around this beach is...

    Northern Spain day 3 part 1 Playa Aguilar

    This was a busy day as we visited 4 different beaches, all within 30 miles. The day was not promising with a forecast promising 100% cloud cover, frequent showers and little or no waves but forecasts have been known to be wrong so a pre-breakfast walk down onto the beach, umbrella in hand. The...

    Northern Spain 2nd day

    Actually the 1st day of photography as we landed in Santander on the fprevious evening and just eat, drank and slept. Next day back to the airport to pick up our hire car and drove to the Costa Quebrada on a scouting trip. On the way we could see the snow covered Picos de Europa but decided...

    Winged Wednesday 5.27.2026: Best Photos of the Week

    Yesterday evening while trying to photograph swifts and I noticed this pair of wood pigeons billing and cooing. The strong back light wasn't helping. Ken

    Spain seascapes #2 Playa de Gueirua

    I first photographed here 8 years ago and wanted to come back and grab the shots that I missed then. On this trip I visited twice, the first with lots of rain and calm seas, the second with sunshine and waves. If you follow Adam Gibbs you may have seen images from here. #1 from the first visit...

    No camping Jim. Spain has reasonably priced hotels, about $70 a night for a room for 2 with breakfast. Ken

    Spain seascapes #1 Playa de Aguilar

    I have hundreds but will not bore you with all of them so will post a few at a time. The weather, for the most part, was terrible with lots of rain and dull flat light with dull featureless skies although most of my posts will not look like it. Two sunrises without rain (#4 and #5) and no...

    Winged Wednesday — 5/20/2026: Birds and Berries

    An Alpine chough from the Picos de Europa mountains in Northern Spain. Unfortunately I missed 2 Griffon Vultures that glided past when I had an ultra wide lens fitted. So on with the 100-400 and waited for the Vultures to return, an hour later standing in the snow at temperatures well below...

    Waterfall Wednesday 5/20/2026

    No name falls in the Picos de Europa. We have just returned from a holiday in Northern Spain and this is the first fruit from my almost 7,000 images. I am a slow processor so it will take some time before I get through them all. Ken
