That’s another Archer reference for you after yesterday’s title. First day of rest in our house. Internet back up (it had been down since April), everything unpacked.

Small town street

Our town is in a small town. Though for us it’s huge: it’s literally 100 times our village. Here, they have proper streets, just about bitumen-covered tracks.

Pavement pattern

Coming from Oslo, there is a big difference: it’s warm and we palm trees everywhere. I have the Miami Vice music in my head.

Palm tree

I’ve been meaning to take this street name for a while. It’s weird to have this in the middle of a Southern Spain town.

Calle Doctor Fleming

Oranges are already there, but still green.

Orange trees in the street

Typical street in a lot of Southern Spain.

What’s interesting when you’re not here a lot is that you notice things change. There used to be a ruin on that field. We always thought it was a big enough space to build an interesting house. But it’s too close to a main road and noisy. It looks like someone has finally bought it. For some reason I liked including the wires at the top of the frame, as if they were framing the scene.

One tradition in the village is to leave your front door open all day. All houses have a double door with a hall in-between. Often the inner door is just a gate. But in the summer it lets heat in and in the winter cold in. So a lot of houses have a curtain outside.

Curtain

I’m still interested in people crossing the streets.

Crossing the street

Back home. We have a long corridor between buildings that is covered to make it an enclosed space. With any sun, it turns into an oven. So we have that curtain to help. I thought the angle was interesting because it feels like it’s upside down.

Another curtain

A window in our house. It reminds me of a doctor’s office.

See you another day.
