As the sun dips to the horizon, its time for just a bit more fishing as well as a snap from yours truly.

The second in this series. Taken from its neighbours summit here in the Timanfaya National Park.

Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, is quite unlike its green neighbours. About a quarter of the Island is strewn with a string of volcanoes, named the Timanfaya National Park. Here we see Volcán El Cuervo. Part of my 2015 Canaries cruise. Nice full screen

In the Northern mountains of Mallorca lies this stretch of water. Very low now after a particularly hot and dry Summer. Not only a delight to photograph but also to stroll around.

The bathers are almost lost in the grandeur of this scene from the sea. Notice the steady stream of tourist going to and from this idyllic spot on the bottom right.

Seen at Port de Soller, Mallorca.

Seen in Port de Sóller, What do you mean, something strange about this photo?

The River Algar in Altea is very often dry, Here we see it with some water as it is Winter and the rainy season. Some days later it was to become almost flooded after several nights of torrential rain. You can see in the background part of the Sierra Bernia mountains. See pips for mono and mountain views.

Sea waves lulled into mist on a holiday beach.

As the night turns slowly to day, I take the rare chance of capturing the sun rising. Normally the fist sight of the sun is the most exciting and best thing to photograph but in this case I like this pre-sunrise better. The dark blue of the night sky turning to a blood-red just around the famous Penyal d'Ifac at Calpe is a crowning point to rest my eye on. Enlarged, one can easily make out the night fishing boats with their lights. Tech info: 34mm Nikon at F7, 1/6th sec iSO 1250, tripod mounted.

On the shores of Platja L'Olla looking North East we see here an old winch. Long since gone rusty, no doubt to hoist boats like this onto the foreshore. Maybe it still works as someone does not want it to be used or moved hence the locks.
