STOP! YOU’LL STRAIN YOUR EYES! NAUGHTY WORDPRESS MAKES THESE PICS SO SMALL…GIVE’EM A CLICK AND YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE THEM PROPERLY.
When I say ‘High Street’ I think of the typical English version……KFC’s, Newsagents, clothes shops, banks, butchers, bakers et al…..
Not so the High Street of Seron, which is simply the highest street of the town. Clever stuff eh?
Not a single shop, in fact not a single building is currently habitable, but don’t fret dear reader… I saw three small cement mixers, numerous piles of brick and tile, and a whistling dude in a yellow vest with a tape measure, so I’m guessing something is afoot….
Good news, as the town of Seron, even in it’s current dilapidated state, is an absolute beauty…
BUT…You’ll have to take my word for it…Coz these shots are just of the shitty bits!
Calle Alta….That’s High Street to us Johnny Foreigners. See what I mean? It really does need a bit of work.
And if you though the walls looked bad, this is a pretty accurate view of the current state of the roof…. OK, there’s not a lot of rain here but I still think a bit of TLC might be in order.
Luckily at least the decorators have a hands on approach.

Looks like my kind of place! Seron, Almeria? Great images, as ever…

Yep..Almeria but only just….Its about 30 mins from Baza on the old road to Murcia.
It is a lovely town, but one of the steepest I’ve ever walked around..The next day my buttocks were like walnuts…(but depressingly bigger).

I love that last composition…modern art or cave art? Sea horizon, mouth, hands, pipeline….so symbolic and interpretable. Poetry in photography!

Hadn’t I told you my middle names were Percy Bysshe Byron Rudyard William and Betty….(Betty is the odd man out…Sort of).

Your palette has such richness, Stuart. I especially like that last shot with the lipsticked mouth.
