It is mostly photographs taken during my travels by motorcycle.

Little Fluffy Clouds


A time lapse of a nice summers day using my action camera. The low level (cumulus) clouds boil up and are travelling west to east (the prevailing wind in these parts) and the high level (cirrus) clouds go the other way. The occasional white streaks are contrails from airliners going to or coming from North America. (watch on YouTube for HD)

Times are tight in Spain.
Who would sell you a big beer for 1 Euro? none other than Gordon Ram…eh no, Gordon Ransay.

On sale in the local supermarket in Fuerteventura 140 proof cannabis absinthe. Maybe not.
Eh, ok

I kept passing this sign near our rented villa in Fuerteventura and it made me think. What is a Viking Terrace club? This is the "first" so are there others? Do I want Vikings on my terrace? Is coffee & croissants the sort of thing Vikings have at 1am?
