That's really nice.

I thought it turned out rather nicely.

That is absolutely perfect and lends itself well to the sepia.
Ronda really is from another day and age...I don't recall if we mentioned how Ronda has a population that refuses to modernize it's thinking politically and socially. It's always been known for being a very classist town.

I REALLY like this picture.

Interesting.

Thanks!

This is really nice! It looks like what I think a park in England looks like.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Yes. Except that there is a 500-foot cliff where those pillars are at the end of the lane. I don't think there are very many of those in England. :-)

It is so NEAT! do they sweep those big wide walkways daily?

It wasn't a spectacular park, but it was a very pleasant place. Much of the park was paved, but this part wasn't. Most of the bare ground we saw in public places like this, was packed clay dirt. Manolo told us that the yellow clay used in a lot of places comes from his hometown, and they use it because weeds don't grow in it.

WOAH! I need some of that clay for my pathways. In the gate picture yesterday, the first version, that was still color, you can see the violets coming up all over the path. That path as landscape fabric under three inches of cypress mulch.. AND I pulled all the violets up a few months ago.

NOTHING stops them!

We had Tru Green come in one year and spray, and the violets were among the few things that they hardly made a dent in. Fortunately, they're not ugly plants. I can't do anything about them in the lawn. In the garden, I keep pulling them up, and they keep coming back.

Yeah, I let them be in the rose garden, and in the yard.. but the path is another story. Every single bark path I have has them.

I do love the little things when they bloom though.

I think the black and white makes it much more dramatic.
