A Couple Of Pic´s From My Vacation

[Sweper]

Part one.

A bunch of pic´s from Majorca/Mallorca Spain October 2010. A fair mix of sunsets, street-photo, sea-views and other. Re street-photo, I think it is a genre that I like a lot. Especially narrow alleys with a charactare like were I stayed.

This is Puerto De Soller where I use to stay.

A night-shot from same location.

The house we share with another family.

Some views from the back patio. From the upper deck/roof

I think it is about 80-100 meters free fall to the water.

Since the back patio is to the west we get many nice sunsets.

Could show many more but I think it will get boring.

There are lots of olive plantaions on the island. Some of the olive trees could be over 1000 years old, I heard. I think this house is used only for olive picking purpose. Those small houses are all around the island.

Pedro picking...Olives!

Twisted and crocked olive trees.

By the way, the soil is very "reddish". It is also named terracotta soil. Used a lot to pottery.

Thats why many houses are yellowy/reddish

Highest peek on the island is Puig Major. A former Nato base with a uge radar staion on the top. 1445 meters above see level. This is the barranc to Sa Calobra with scary hairpin bends. Cool watching all turist buses hanging on the edge.

A 270 degree bend.

To be continued...

Part two.

10 minutes walk from our house.

Some street photos from the nearby town Soller. A small bar.

A dangerdog?

The old tram that runs between Soller and Puerto De Soller. Market-day.

There is also a train running between Soller and the capitol city Palma.

Old lady with dog.

In almost every townhouse garden they grow oranges, lemons, peach and other fruits.

Those streets are narrow. And this one is actually not a one-way!

Renovation of church interior.

Son! You can now confess your sins for me.

To be countinued...

Very nice.

I like the sunsets and street shots too, envious

[Kimosabi]

There's only one thing that beats a San Miguel when you have weather like that. A San Miguel in an iced glass. Nice pics!

[DD_Arthur]

Very nice pics, Sweper. I can feel the warmth. Made the sunset this weeks desktop.

[JensenPark]

Nice pics...must have been very relaxing.

you're final pic...you kinda look like Doubletap

[T_O_A_D]

Nice, I think the painful tooth helped him focus on the the better shots, and less distracted from the pretty girls or something, to cause camera swing LOL

Great Pics Swep!

I got a Nikon D40 last year and just started my first photography class last tuesday. So, now I am trying to learn how to take pictures manually so that I now what is going on. I hope my skills can match yours someday...

[Sweper]

Thanks mates! Really appreciate your kind words.

Snacko, nice first camera, easy to handle and capture well saturated pic´s with a nice contrast to it. I think when the D40 first came out it got praised from all the reviewers.

Cheers
