Raindrops

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

As you might've noticed, ...yeah, it rained this morning. After a sunny hot summerday, nothing better then a slight rainfall to clean up the air. After watching the F1 race my mom told me to get my camera out and take some pictures. So...i took out a large tripod and went out to hunt some raindrops. Here's the result:

The last one might be one of the best shots i've ever taken... What do you think...? Gimme some comments on that...

Snakes on an isle

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

Not another Samuel L. Jackson movie,

but plain reality. During last weekend the SEPRONA, the "nature protect division" of the Guardia Civil found two snakes at two different locations on Gran Canaria. One in a home at the 'Rafael Cabrera str.' in Las Palmas and another one in the municipality of Valsequillo.

The one found in Las Palmas was a young 'Python' of more than 1m length. The second one found in a natural reserve called "La Higuera Canaria", in Valsequillo, was an albino 'California Kingsnake'. The Guardia Civil is doing some researches to find the last tenant of the home since the snake was found by the owner after the tenant left.

Both snakes were given to the 'Crocodile Park' in Agüimes where they're kept correctly and safely.

Barranco de Guayadeque

Monday, March 26th, 2007

The last few rainfalls across the island, have left behind a very beautiful landscape. I went a few days ago to the ravine of Guayadeque to a BBQ and took some amazing pictures i think. Have a look at them and judge for yourself:
