Spanish Interlude 4


Sometimes it rains in Spain
High in the mountains of Andalucia
This small white village,
Villaluenga del Rosario,
Sits on the side of a mountain
Limestone pitted with caves.
Sheep, goats and hens in the valley below.

Hipstamatic, James M Lens, BlacKeys B+W film



Back in Jerez, the sun shone.
I roamed the walls of the Alcazar
Looking for the right picture to capture the bright sun
And shadows of the jacaranda and orange trees
That line the Alameda Vieja.

Hipstamatic, John S Lens, Ina's 1969 Film


The last shot of the day
It all fell into place
Light, shadow, white and black,
Warm sunlight on this ancient urban space
Lined with trees that give such grace.
