The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

ABC Wednesday - P for Palm


ABC Wednesday - and we now have P for Palm.

We've all seen palm trees somewhere but who's seen them made of concrete ??

You'll find a collection of giant concrete palms here in this little square in Guardamar - all looking very attractive amongst the trees and bushes .


It was not always so - at one time the square had no trees or bushes and was frequented by " the young " on skateboards - not really an attractive place at all.

Summer 2007 and planting out of the area commenced and within a year the trees and bushes have taken hold and are now a good display .. making the whole area look a lot better .

ABC Wednesday - P for Petrovac, Montenegro


Petrovac - far away in Montenegro. 

Montenegro being a new destination for the European holiday maker....






A beautiful coastline and a very relaxing atmosphere. Petrovac may be a new destination for UK citizens but it has been entertaining visitors from Serbia and Germany for many years.

ABC Wednesday -P for Poland - Icy Gdansk

Picture taken in March 2006 - ice still clogs up the waterfront here in Gdansk

ABC Wednesday - P for Poland - Earnest conversation !!!



Wonder what they are talking about - here in Gdansk Poland ??

The state of the world or perhaps the history of the world !

Penguins - move your cursor and take them for a walk !!

Say it as it is ......


Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Look around !!!

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
