Costa del Sol - Autumn 2018 Heaven and Sea

My 3rd blogpost from Costa del Sol 2018

3. Heaven and Sea

When living at Costa del Sol in about 16 weeks a year motives from the beaches occur almost every day and night. The morning view at the delta of river Fuengirola with the bridge near Sohail Castle has been shown earlier, but a great thing cannot be left out for that reason

My wife´s images taken during her early morning´s walk, show the sun rise in different weather situations. This morning the sun had just left the horizon and the sky had a wonderful color

Another morning and some minutes later (winter-time) when the clouds hide the rising sun, the birds at the river seem to be on ice.

The wind at the coast varies almost every day and the waves are crashing the shore with different strenght. Sometimes the surfers are happy playing in the water, and sometimes people are diving in these waves,

When the clouds are black and the storm and heavy rain are stronger than usual, the beaches and riverbanks are full of "leftovers". The comunity personnel are wery good in cleaning. In a day or two the branches and mud are taken away.

When the bad weather is approaching the colors of the clouds are really spectacular.

A heaven and sea photo-serie can also contain images from above.This image of the port of Fuengirola is taken from a hotel roof, and gives us an overview of the long coastline and the horizon of the Mediterranean Sea.

Here as all over the world the moon is full every 28th day, and these images show that we often are at the beaches late afternoon or early evenings.

The next three photos can well be motives for paintings. We all know many paintings by E. Munch which contain the full moon and the light on the sea surface, so maybe these will end as paintings by me.

At last I swap the Mediterranean sea with the landscape around the Sierra Nevada mountains in Granada taken from the airplane window travelling north and leaving Andalusia this autumn.
