After several days of beautiful yet cold sunshine, it turned dreary/rainy/windy/blah outside again today. To distract myself, I think it’s time to daydream of the summer light and warmth of our August trip to Spain. Although mountain views were familiar, the light and colors were completely different compared to our everyday views.
The bright daylight of the sun directly overhead was almost too intense.
The warm, lingering evenings spent sitting out listening to the night sounds, with the only light coming from the setting sun/rising moon or the man-made reflected light from pool and patio lights were magical. (Well, except for that one accidental camera flash … but I liked the result, so decided that image can be included in the “magical” collection, too! 🙂 ).
The red reflected light of the strong summer sun through our restaurant’s table umbrella at lunch was cool and inviting.
After a lazy week of sleeping late and “morning” coffee under the mid-day skies, our last morning was an earlier one before the taxi picked us up for our trip to the airport. The morning sunrise and light were the perfect ending to a perfect week.
Ah, that was refreshing. I’d forgotten how the changing light of the different times of the constant sunny days made for interesting and diverse photographs!
Now it’s time to get back to the rainy/no-snow blah-reality of this 2014-2015 winter in the Bergen area. How’s the light in *your* part of the world?
Know how you feel. I could do with being in Gandia again right now 🙂
Want to try with me? “There’s no place like ‘Spain’ … There’s no place like ‘Spain’ …”
Drat. Didn’t work. Still dreary outside. In fact, it’s worse than yesterday!
Great! 🙂
🙂
Such sunny, warm, colorful pictures.
Good for my daydreaming! But I think your part of the world is fairly warm now??
Love to daydream of the sunshine, food, wine, colors, tiles…. Beautiful post!
Glad I could take you along with me with the daydream! The wine tastes fabulous, doesn’t it? 🙂
Oh yea… 🙂
Ahhhhhhhhhhh sun warmth and sangria…..BUENO!!!
Gracias por acompañarme, Teri!
How is the light here? Rainy / no snow blah here too. Looking forward to some sunshine.
We’ll just have to power through this particular Norwegian winter … and hope spring, summer, and fall are as glorious as they were last year!
Beautiful images – light here is bright and blue, too.
Thank you, Juli! And, I’m glad your Land of Oz summer is bright, blue, and beautiful! 🙂
What a beautiful escape. It’s soooo cold, icy and more snow here. Blah blah BLAH
Thank you for sharing, I feel better. 🙂
I’m glad, Audra. We all need to find those warm inner sunshine moments!
Calietente. Si?
Sí, era muy cálido y acogedor!
The light here in Arizona has been splendid! Florida too. I loved seeing your photos of Spain. I would love to go there. That shot of the moon was delightful!
Thanks, Nancy! It’s good to be able to revisit and appreciate the glorious, light-filled moments of life. And I think my favorite moon shots are those that are reflecting a little of the warmth of a setting sun. 🙂
