Oceanic observation platform

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007
Isaac Godoy,



the education counsellor of the canarian government spoke yesterday , in a press conference, about two upcoming projects to be housed on the canary islands. The most important one is the creation of an oceanic observation platform, that could be operative by 2011, that would set the canary islands as a worldwide mark for oceanic research.



The platform is expected to cost between 20 and 25 million euros and will be situated near to Gran Canaria and as near as possible to the continental slope. It is s said not to be built with technology of oil-research platforms, otherwise it will multiply the costs.



Wow, how you like that!! That are one f***ing good news. Big plus for this!!

Windy weather

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Cane hit by wind



Today morning i woke up and this is what i got. A windy stormy weather after days of holyday sunshine. We're a "miniature continent", many different kinds of weather and climate types depending on the region, thats why things can change in just a matter of a few hours.

But i think it's normal for the meteorologists have said that the winter in late this year. The isle need some water, but lets hope it'll be just right enough to fill the dams.

Ephemeral art

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007
The nativity scene made out of sand, at the "Las Canteras" beach in Las
Palmas
, i posted nearly a month ago (see pictures here) is now gone.

It took the artists almost ten days to build it and yesterday, in a matter of an hour, 50 kids from a public school kicked and punched it down, relieving their adrenaline level. Their teacher said that the day before they could barely teach their lessons once the kids got the news, they were the ones in charge of "destorying" this artwork, due to their nerves.


Well, lets just wait for the next year to see another "destruction derby". :D

Beach day

Sunday, January 7th, 2007
I just arrived from the beach,

and i must say: What a great beach day in "anfi" !! "Anfi" is short for "Anfi del Mar", a luxury appartment complex right after "Taurito", which is next to "Arguineguin", in the municipality of Mogan. Though the beach is part of the complex, it's accessible for the public. Have a look at the bay:
