WPC: Transmogrify
WPC this Friday – Transmogrify.
Transmogrify into something distorted and ugly or into a work of art? This house in Bilbao reflects and mirrors a bridge where a red car is passing.

Rocks often have an interesting structure – and so do these from Cathedral Beach in Spain.
The Evening Charms of Lerma
We spent an evening walking in Lerma, in Castile and León, Spain. A little village the size of my home town in Sweden, but Lerma has important monuments dating from the 17th century, which were built by the Duke of Lerma, the King’s favourite.
To me, the greatest attraction here was the two main streets. One of them in the header, and in the very old part, I found this remarkable house.
Its façade and its colours caught my eye – and held it there for longer than just a moment.
The unevenness was made even more beautiful in the stray rays of the setting sun.
And further on, down the road, I also found a little door into the unknown…maybe 45 cm wide and 1.50cm high – No key. A stray…uncomfortable bench in a dark alley and some dry thistles on a stone fence…
I do love these things…
…as I loved the stork nest on the church and the lonely dog in the lonely street…
…and the charming restaurant waiting for its bustling guests arriving by 9 p.m.
I do love odd places and odd things and – almost everything about Spain.
Travel theme: Enlightened
Ailsa throws in a helping hand for us all who are both low and high these days. The world is so troubled and it is impossible not to get depressed by the news received every day. Let us all try to muster some hope, some enlightened thoughts and deeds – we need Peace, Love and Compassion on Earth.
In the header, two old gentlemen walking in Segovia.
Love – my son and his dog
Love – my two children
Love – parent and child
Love – drawing by my daughter of two of her friends
Love – still hiking together
Ansó and the Vultures of Foz de Arbaiun
A gallery of pictures from the little village Ansó – isolated for many years, but rather recently opened up to the world.
After a couple of hours on a narrow, winding road, we finally reached
…Ansó
A charming little mountain village
…with narrow, cobbled streets
We found a great bar with absolutely fresh appetizers and tasty beer
And everyday life went on
…just like the water running through the narrow gorges
On our way back to our hotel, we passed Foz de Arbaiun, a narrow gorge made by the river Salazar, 400 m down. As usual, click to enlarge. (Sometimes needed twice)
On the cliff sides, many vultures have found their homes. We saw at least a dozen coming in. Here they are free to live – nobody can touch them.
Unfortunately we had not brought any pair of binoculars – but the flight of the majestic vultures was still great to watch. We did not see any of the other species.
