Gibraltar - Daydreaming
Gibraltar -
Daydreaming
I have never been to Gibraltar (so far), but 'the rock' has become part of my life
these days.
It's there, all the time,
all day long, each and every day –
unless there is very heavy
fog!
It's there in the morning
when I wake up and look out of the window from my bed.
It's there when I have my
late morning coffee sitting on the terrace,
and it's there all day long
when I sit at my desk, trying to get some work done.
And yet, it looks different
every time.
Gibraltar, at the southern
end of the Iberian Peninsula is an impressive
landmark.
The Rock, with it's height
of 426m and a length of about 6km is located at the doorway from
the Atlantic
Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.
…
when all daydreams have come to an end,
and my eyes follow
the sun towards the west,
…
it's still there:
The Rock of Gibraltar

Puerto Banus
The place to be on a Saturday morning is
Puerto
Banus,
a short drive from Estepona.
The harbour entrance doesn't look exactly spectacular,
but soon you are wondering,
which are bigger:
the houses or the yachts?
For your late-morning-coffee
the corner-café is almost a 'must', -
though of course it can be a gin-tonic or a glass of
cava as well.
(It's never too early for that in Puerto Banus!)
Oh yes, - and don't drive down there with your
special-bargain-rental-car.
You might feel a bit out of place, between all those
Ferraris, Porsche Cayenne, Bentleys,
etc. . . .

3. Advent
Nach dem Regen
Der Regen streift durch das
Tal, sanft aber stetig, vom Meer herauf, den Bergen entgegen. Und gleichzeitig kämpft sich die Sonne durch
Schichten von Wolken, Dunstschwaden und Nebelbänken … und
… verliert ihren Kampf.
Wolkenberge schieben sich
heran, schwer und tief, und verschließen den Himmel.
Schaumkronen bedecken das
Meer bis in den diesigen Horizont.
Die schmalen, hohen Zypressen
wiegen sich gemächlich und souverän im Wind, der sie nicht fassen kann; der
Jacaranda flattert aufgeregt.
Einzelne Sturmböen ziehen
heulend ums Haus, zerren an den Ranken der Kletterpflanzen und schütteln
halbreife Avocados vom Baum. Über die Terrasse tanzen die leuchtendroten
Blütenblätter der Bougainvillea.
Die weiße Stadt, umzingelt
vom Grau, erhascht vereinzelte Strahlen der noch immer verborgenen Sonne.
Wird das mein Weihnachten
sein?
Aber nein, morgen ist erst
der 3. Advent.
Der Regen zieht weiter.
Wohin?

Darwin, Weihnachten 1974
'The Day Santa never made it into Darwin'
... I like this song ...
... so sad ...
Der Roman 'Larrys Sohn' erzählt eine Geschichte aus dieser Zeit.

Sunday in Estepona
There are
many places in Estepona which I like a lot.
My
favourite place, though, is the waterfront.
And Estepona has a lot of
'waterfront'!
On Sundays,
the place to go, is Estepona
Port,
the marina at the
western end of the town.
Each Sunday
morning this little port,
which gets a bit quiet during the week in wintertime,
changes into a lively, busy place:
Sunday is market day at Estepona Port!
... late Sunday morning at Estepona Port (2.Dec.2012)
... the place to be ...
... to walk around ...
... and than stroll back ... alongside the beach ... towards the city!
