Fireworks in August? It just had to end up like this... |
|
|
 As Robert reports on our Forum today (16 Aug.), "The fireworks display in the Pueblo got a bit out of hand this week."... I'd expected there was an EU directive against this kind of summer activity. In Norway we are barely allowed to ignite fireworks at new year's eve, with snow up to our elbows! See more pictures & full report under section Random walk.

July 25, 2010: Arenal Golf roundabouts |
|
|
 The roundabout at the bottom of Phase 3 beside the bus stop has now been landscaped (right-hand image in the montage; photo: Robert Lennon). This adds to the two other roundabouts to the North of Phase 2 (re-arranged after removal of the three gigantic Greek heads) and outside Phase 1 (the "water from no-where" arrangement). Webmaster's comment: I miss the Greek heads - and I love the artistic creativity that are expressed on most of the roundabouts in the area!

May 2010 - The eagle has landed! |
|
|
 Report from Andrew Hirst: "I own an Atico on Phase 1 and my wife was today frozen with fear as she emerged from the apartment onto the balcony to be confronted by the attached photograph. The raptor just watched her, sat on its 'perch' for several minutes. Those with small pets best look out!"
Webmaster's comment: The species is probably a Booted eagle (dark phase).
