Below are some scans of ancient slides I found recently. The quality is not the best, but the familiar views of the Tatra Mountains in Poland and Slovakia? Priceless (at least for me, lol).

Here are a few random shots taken with my phone, from various beaches on the Costa del Sol. The weather has been playing havoc with our daily walks but we've still managed to get out a few times. Because of the constantly changing weather, the beaches look different every time you walk them, which is awesome for photographers, as long as you remember to look down!

Another of my photos, this time from the Monte Rosa Group, in the Alps, won first place in the Landscape category in the annual photo competition held by the Sudetes Mountaineering Club in Jelenia Góra, Poland. Sweet!

As a consolation for missing out on visiting Bordeaux, we decided to make an overnight stop in Córdoba. I was there for the first time way back in 1991 (yikes!) and was fortunate to see the old town and the famous Mosque-Cathedral with virtually no tourists. Andrzej, however, had yet to see it and we hoped there would be less people at this time of year. As it turns out, you can actually enjoy a quick visit for free! You just have to go there at 8:30 am and you have roughly an hour to walk around. You aren't able to get in to the cathedral area as they're setting up for a mass but it's a great time to explore the famous columns and arches. Commonly referred to as the Mezquita (mosque), this is one of the most famous tourist sites in Spain. The UNESCO World Heritage site dates all the way back to 785 when the original mosque was under construction. The mosque was converted to a Catholic cathedral in 1236 when Córdoba was conquered by King Ferdinand III. Fortunately, much of the original construction was left alone. Both inside and outside, this is a spectacular building and a must-see on any visit to Andalusia. Better, certainly, to visit in the low season, though, as you'll still have decent weather and far less people. So, another site in Spain ticked off the list!
