The Alamo ???
The Eastern Canaries used to have a major sea salt export trade. There's only one working one left in Lanza further up the coast.

When the prom was 'regenerated' they fixed up a couple of the wind powered water pumps for show. The used to pump seawater up into big shallow lakes to evaporate the water. Something different on a new years day stroll.

There used to be a lot of salt production where I live…now the area is a bird sanctuary. The salt production in the Camargue is quite impressive

Dunno - but the last person you should try to fool is yourself.
Nothing good comes of it.
Being honest and brutal with yourself is non aspirational......to convince yourself that you can do and deserve better...is halfway to achieving it

It's great on those rare moments without cloud to catch that. Once only I got the planet in the Arc of the moon. Was just after sunset in Tetouan, a Morroccan city. The mosques had just done their noisy bit, then there it was. Awesome.

The forecast was brilliant…so we got up with plans for a day on the water….but by this morning the forecast had changed to overcast and miserable…so we changed plans.
But guess what 🤷🏼‍♂️😧😎



Oh well, just a day lost I guess
