Playa Calahonda in Nerja

There's a small blue white cave building down there.


Pruned CIDPs on the Balcon de Europa


Decidious trees with leaves in winter



A Royal Palm at 150m/500 ft asl. near the Cuevas del Nerja (which were closed that day)



Failed photos





The weather station of Nerja located here at 170m asl. is not completely representative of Nerja itself.




What is this?



Data from that weather station: El Tiempo. Hoy y últimos días: Nerja - Resúmenes diarios anteriores - Tabla - Agencia Estatal de Meteorología - AEMET. Gobierno de España

Dypsis Lutescens


Going down to the beach this time




Water temp was 17°C, and this was kind of a nudist beach.



I also prefer sandy beaches, but this isn't bad either



Frigiliana is a white beautiful semi touristic village sitting in the coastal mountains behind Nerja.









Water Drink Thingy





Failed photo





Panorama View



Sunset from the Hotel



Next day

A beach near Adra, didn't look that inviting, it was windy as hell



The scenery gets more arid to the east



In a valley south of the eastern Sierra Nevada



The "Big River" of that Valley in the Wet season



No but really the December which just ended at that point was extremely dry.

Yep, they look like winterized bananas, for sure. They might not get frost burn, but the lack of colour in the leaves shows the slow down in growth. The wee ones are still cranking though

Fornebu (just outside Oslo), Norway today. -12°C / 10°F.

Nice pictures. At what time of day did you take them? Does the sun rise much higher than that?

[Rozenn]

Pics from the coldest weekend of the year. Brr...







This is what the dead of winter looks like in the subtropics.





Flowering mimosa is really beginning to get noticeable from far away:





Eww bare trees...







Snowy mountains a bit more than 100 km away. Not the sharpest photo I'm afraid.

Spoiler

Brigitte Bardot's favorite town. Lots of expensive cars there...

Notice the snow in the background:





Strange sign at a trailhead. Erm, good to know I guess.

A lot of these photos turned out bad.

It was quite warm here. (500m asl.)
Ca 21°C/70°F













See the Road



Driving up the pass (2000m/6560ft)





Hiking up a small hill



Looking north







The Mountain Pass Donkey







Guadix 915m/3000ft asl













Epic Fail Photo (The Red rocks in the background illuminated by the sun looked beautiful irl.)



Next day
The Coastline near Malaga



Nice City park (reminding me of the one in Santa Cruz de Tenerife)



The Avocado tree was to big to get a decent photo of



Royal Palms





To be continued

Are you in Munich or Spain right now, or are these pictures old?

[ialmostforgot]

Took this picture in Baltimore City.
Terra subtropicalis? I dunno... it's 28F/-2C outside right now, colder than our coldest average low. The famed American winter cold snap
The pine tree in the background to the left is Eastern White Pine, a non-native tree that people love to plant everywhere for some reason. Those are one of my least favorite pines in the area (ugh!).


Waiting for this blizzard that is gonna give us more snow than we typically get in a whole winter.
