Snow at Cabra Brook, Donegal, Ireland
sky
changes
moves
minutes march
rehearsal
role change
angry,
placid,
quiet,
forlorn.
listen to sky

Madrid, Spain
we went to see a flamenco show after having tapas at alemendro 13, a recommendation made by locals. the evening was a beautiful blur of red and white and black. the music is haunting and powerful. the movements leave one mesmerised. 
calvin and i spent the evenings on the plaza mayor playing around with the camera and the different lights. this was taken just outside of the royal palace.
the metro stations are filled with buskers. my favourite was two jamaican looking men who had bongo drums and the biggest grins on their faces. virtually everyone who walked past started swaying their hips and tapping their feet.
madrid is characterised by its art and architecture. it is rich in history. this particular piece really spoke to me.
reine sofia is the modern art museum where picasso's work can be found. 
afternoon siestas and time spent on the local square is very important. it marks each day. 
the prado museum holds important art works dating back to the early 15th century. what amazed me most was how my emotions mirrored that of the paintings as i passed from one exhibition hall to the next.we are off to granada next where we have booked a cottage in a white village. i am thinking that i might need to learn how to speak spanish.

Canal Du Midi, France, Day 2 - 7
tucked away villages, forgotten churches, hidden towns, ancient cities, castles with motes, fresh farmer's markets, cafes by the canal, blue shutters, interesting people and unexpected discoveries filled the rest of our week along the canal.
