These pictures were taken during a holiday in Spain three years ago. About November 18, 2006  Mostly the current album is from the Old Quarter or Bari Gotic although some are from Peniscola – down the coast a couple hours.

“Awake Are Only the Spirits”

by Alex on December 7, 2009

‘Awake Are Only the Spirits’ doesn’t just introduce you to some exciting artworks, it also makes you question your beliefs and your perception of the world.

That’s what art is supposed to do but so seldom does anymore.

Windows Again?!?! How can it be….

by Alex on December 7, 2009

Today I’m exploring the world of Windows again; after avoiding it for the last 2 years whenever possible. I have been using Linux OS for all my personal needs and only using Windows while at work and on the companies computers. But now I have been gifted with a brand-spanking new Acer net-book with Windows XP already installed. I’ve been tempted to use it particularly for Windows Live Writer and now Live Photo Gallery integration for publishing to my blogs. It just seems to  work really well together and make publishing blog entries; even on Live Journal very much easier than anything else.

Though I’m sure that I will install Ubuntu Linux on this machine fairly soon, I have to admit I am impressed by these Windows Live apps; at least, for now.

The End of The Day

by Alex on December 7, 2009

It has just come to the end of a most wonderful Solar return with my Beloveds;  Brandy & Ted without whom my life would be so much duller and less joyful in which I was gifted with their lovely presence for Brunch and dinner as well as this exciting new toy:
