It is and it is not

day-off.jpg


How to call an open space, within the town's limits, where you can sit and read your book or enjoy the sunshine, walk your dog, annoy the stray cats (they are always annoyed when they see the dog) and take pictures of blooming trees?

A park, you might say and you have every reason to do so. But this specific part of the town is not a park, although it is suitable for all the activities I mentioned above and many more. On the other hand we use it as a park so you might say that it is one.

But then again, it isn't :)

Actually it is an archeological site. A former castle that was used for the defence of the town but now it isn't really used for anything. The town has another, more impressive castle where all the visitors go, so this one is a bit neglected and overlooked. And since the archeological office that is responsible for this place doesn't built parks and the municipality that builds parks is not in control of the place, it has remained as a fortified piece of land where nature, animals and people are seeking for their spot.

And while Marcos (our dog) was running loose and @traisto was reading her book, I found the opportunity to dive into the beauty of a flowering almond tree!

The last twelve years that I have left the big city, taking pictures of almond trees when they are bloomed is kind of a personal tradition. And honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend a few minutes with my camera on a sunny winter day!

I wasn't alone for long though, neither was @traisto. Marcos resents to see us staying still during his walk and demanded a more active continuance of our day.

And of course he got what he wanted :)

Have a lovely weekend!

The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 850D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic

All the pictures and the words are mine.
