Toro de Osborne
21. juni 2018, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The Osborne Sherry company (founded by Thomas Osborne Mann in 1772) erected large images of bulls starting in the 1950's to advertise it's Brandy de Jerez. The original image contained the name of the company, which was then "blacked out" in 1994 to comply with an EU law that prohibited advertising of alcoholic beverages within 150 metres of a road.

Toro de Osborne, stands proudly alongside roads and on hilltops, cutting the horizon with its mighty shape. Despite it's humble advertising heritage, the bull has since become a cultural symbol of Spain.Les mer

Spanish Sunflowers
21. juni 2018, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
The late spring and early summer seem to be the time for sunflowers in the south of Spain. In the middle of nowhere, outside Seville, there are field upon field of sunflowers (or girasoles in Spanish). So pretty 🌻Les mer

Solar collectors - PS10 and PS20
21. juni 2018, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
The solar collector towers, named PS10 and PS20, began operating in 2007 and 2009. Each is surrounded by a field of angled mirrors known as heliostats, which reflect solar radiation onto a receiver located at the top of each tower. This reflected sunlight illuminates dust and water vapor in the air, resulting in the brilliant glowing rays.

The heliostats—624 for the PS10 and 1,255 for the PS20—move during the day in order to reflect the most sunlight possible. When the rays of light reach the receiver, their heat produces steam, which is used to power a turbine. The turbine drives a generator, thereby producing electricity.Les mer

Fortaleza de Sagres
22. juni 2018, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
The Fortaleza Sagres is located at the southern tip of the Sagres Peninsular and this uniquely designed fort protected the town from raiders from North Africa.

This is where Henry the Navigator devised his 15th century expeditions to the uncharted seas around the western side of Africa, which heralded in the golden era of Portugal exploration.

The devastating 1755 earthquake destroyed most of the fort. The actual quake only did slight damage but the resulting tsunami flooded (and washed away) the entire fort by rising higher than the 60m cliffs.Les mer

Portugal Day 2
22. juni 2018, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Much of the drive though the Algarve was through huge citrus orchards. This is because the Algarve produces up to 70% of all citrus harvested in Portugal. Between 300,000 and 400,000 tonnes of the fruit is harvested annually. Incidentally, the word "porteghal" in Persian means orange (fruit).

The drive through little Portuguese villages, which were just as I imagined them to be ... quaint and full of narrow little roads and a mix of very old and newer buildings.Les mer
