A Couple Of Pic´s From My Vacation

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.

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.

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.

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

Swep
