thank you Ann, Birna and Ian for commenting.

Ian, Birna, she most probably uses a tracking App for her  child :)

shoe keeper might be a task
I find accuracy and colour a good contrast to the rock

Meet C. She is luminous.

  I'm struggling to get some quality photo time for some time now. This was developed today but was taken in August...

That is a lovely portrait, Paco. C. feels, well, luminous :)

The out-of-focus lights in the background balance the composition nicely without drawing the eye away from C. I also like the subtle colour contrast between the warm light on C. and cool light behind her.

Thank you Ian, she is luminous  :)

  That warm-cold light is what we were aiming for. Late evening with the twilight as background. The lights were unexpected. The bars at the beach -we call them Chiringuitos- started to turn on and I tried to include them. I'm so happy it all can be part of the your viewing experience!

The city of Cádiz gets very busy during the Carnival. So much that I needed some time out, took my bicycle and went to a beach some 30minutes away called "cortadura"

I also have no sense of scale here Paco
I'm guessing these were down at your feet, but these could also have been desert landscapes
