Photo Gallery

A series of photographic galleries with slide shows on various subjects

Gallery 1 - Gota Fria 2007

In 2007 the Costa Blanca ( Spain) was hit by a very bad storm known as a Gota Fria which means Cold Drop translated into English. This is where a warm and cold front meet and for some reason a portion of the cold front with dense cloud gets isolated. This produces very heavy rain that can last 24 hours or longer, dropping a meter or more of water on to the dry land and mountains. Unfortunately the areas of Spain where this occurs have a lot a mountainous areas and the water gathers pace as it tries to reach the sea. The rivers get swollen very quickly and this immense volume of water moves everything in its path. These are pictures taken 3 days after the storm. 

 An interesting collage of photographs has been put together in the form of a video with a musical background. It is very haunting and shows the how fast water can flood a town and the devistation it can cause. this can be viewed here.

Gallery 2 - House Warming 2010

In July 2010 we celebrated the completion of our house in the foothills of the mountains above Altea by inviting all our friends and neighbours to a party. These photographs are a refection taken by the party guests.

Gallery 3 - General Photos

These are general photographs that have been taken by myself and friends that have caught my eye. More will be added from time to time.

Gallery 4 - Altea Moors and Christians Fiesta

Photographs taken of the fiesta but they cannot capture the atmosphere of the crowds, bands, music and the general feeling of happiness by everyone concerned. The people in the processions have worked all year for this one fiesta for the pure joy of being there.
