A Splash of Red....

Perfect Blend

 On Spanish waysides,

 the brightest blueness of this tiny flower,

 mingles in with the subtleness of bunches of grasses,

Spain's countryside, arid & dry terrain.

Villages with colour from the rustic style housing.

Splashes of sultry coloured flowers add to the Spanish influence

A ground covering succulent with the bright pink flower

Beautiful doorways,

 with intricate ironwork,

 enhancing the character of the older style buildings

Inland Spain,

 reflects a more natural look of Spain,

although  it's very dry & dusty,

 with often a hilly rough landscape,

splashes of colour emerge with the flora,

 making it a perfect combination

 with the rustic painted dwellings.

Spanish Influence

Been back a week since my Spanish holiday,

 not one by the coast, but inland,

 experiencing a more true natural Spain, 

compared with the touristic coastlines.

The Villa I stayed in was on the

 outskirts of a town called Sax.

Streets & streets of housing,

 much character in these dwellings,

 particularly in the older part of the town,

built on the side of a hill,

situated  just below a very imposing castle,

a landmark which was visible from the villa. 

A spectaclular  view of the castle,

& evermore striking light up at night

Busy, busy....

A busy time,

 with the challenge

 of producing photography

 for  a wedding.

When I was first asked to do this,

I thought it was going to be a quiet small affair,

but that was not to be.....

A village church, vingtage car,

7 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls,

2 page boys,

 heaps of ushers & many family & friends.....

But, although a few moments of anxiety

 as to what I had agreed to take on,

I also relished the challenge.

The reception certainly mirrored

 the colour theme of the day

And overall,

I did enjoy the occasion,

 a learning curve but also I think

 I did quite well for

the photography of my first major wedding.



With respect to privacy,

 bridal party or guest are not shown,

but there were many, honest!
