Sea Vista

The wide flat Mediterranean sea looking towards Morocco contrasts with the dense city streets of Malaga Spain. A city known for its cuisine, beaches, and nightlife. It’s one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities dating from 770 BC first by the Phoenicians then by Romans, Moors, and Christians.

Even though mobbed by British and other tourists, the city has kept its Spanish flare as shown in this ad. Never shy and comfortable with its outward passione, the city has an energetic, inspiring, and positive vibe.

Had the pleasure of taking a yoga class at Parvati Yoga in the Soho district. The photo of a mural below covers an entire wall adding to the serenity at Parvati. A 90-minute class turned into 2 hours of moderate to intense stretching and strengthening. Hats off to Parvati and Malaga yoga.

Malaga Spain

Had the pleasure of visiting Malaga Spain. A beautiful ancient and modern city with many tourists who flood the historic center with its narrow streets. The nightlife often goes till near dawn, both locals and visitors enjoying southern Europe’s passione.

Tamoman 30

‘Twas Tamoman 30 this year – thirty years of brotherhood and kinship spawned over the decades. I went up a few days early for some solo cabin life. Was quite nice, a cool spring with mist and rain and days of sunshine. Here are a few pics.

The first morning there was a newt on the road. It was quite docile so I picked it up and put it on moss for a photo – more about Newts “though they may look cute and harmless, they can be dangerous; toxins secreted through the skin as a defense mechanism could kill a person”

A theme for this year was time passing. Here are the rings of a tree stump with an interesting dark patina, almost like the night sky.

The first few nights were peaceful, with no electronics just a book and occasional incense.

An apple tree I’ve always wanted to photograph on the way up Mountain road.

Tk designed an awesome Tamo 30 t-shirt. Here’s the crew front and back showing it off.

Williamsburg

New York sidewalks are so interesting – all sorts of interactions and dramas playing out with people, signs, storefronts et al. No need to go anywhere fancy or spend money, just walk the streets, and something interesting will happen. I’ve come to appreciate this about NY more than anything.

This was taken in Williamsburg Brooklyn recently. Just an iPhone which is good for street photography since it blends in and the wide-angle lens works well too.

We’ve had multiple snows this winter, quite good especially for seeing what critters are running about. These photos were taken near the Bruce Freeman Trail bridge that goes over route 2 into Acton.

And here’s another one from out in the cornfield.

Soup

Last of the butternut squash from this past summer’s crop, amazing how easy it is to grow and sweet and keeps well. This pot is made with coconut milk and ginger with some nutritional yeast and homegrown oregano on top plus salt and pepper. Pretty simple and tasty.
