As I took this photo, I remembered the lyrics:

Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!

El chocolate con churros or café con churros is undeniably a Spanish “desayuno” or breakfast. The origin of churros is hidden in history. Some suggest, possibly Asians, the churros came from China; while others trace them to an ancient Roman cookbook (Apicius 1st century AD).

In Madrid, the Chocolatería San Ginés (near Puerta del Sol and founded in 1894) is famous for its chocolate for churros and you normally have to wait in a long queue to get a table and then be served. I took this particular picture in a bar near where my sister li ...

This picture is of the Coral Princess ship’s atrium, as you look up. It has an abstract feeling to it. I hope you like it.

The church was built by Serbian Australians, who settled in Coober Pedy as opal miners. Because of the hot climate, it was decided to build a church under the ground. The church was built by volunteers and it is consecrated to Saint Elijah the Prophet.

The Mitchell Falls staircase-like cascades is just as spectacular by air as by land. The Mitchell Falls is just one of many cascades in Mitchell River National Park. I took this photo from land.

The group of young students sit in front of the Picasso’s Guernica painting at the Reina Sofia. Out of the picture their teacher calls some students by their name asking to explain what they see in the famous painting. The students gave some very insightful remarks about the horrors of war and how they are shown in the picture. A student compared the suffering and destruction with Gaza.

I must admit I have rarely used my camera over recent months, at least since the Avalon airshow in early March of this year.

I love portraits above anything else and I am in huge debt to Gary Stark and this forum for developing my love of photography, and for making me broke at times with gear acquisitions... :biglaugh:
