Post one favorite photo you took (max 1 per day) with some details.

One of the many Boardwalks & restaurants in Marbella Spain..last summer

@Camper6 we have a second home there, where we lived for 10 years full time ..... and my daughter also lives there, but 6 hours from us... It has a big expat population

Franco is still remembered by the older Spaniards who preferred those dictatorship days... but of course the country has moved on expotentailly since then and those born after 1965 (albeit Franco ruled till '75) know only the modern free ways...

This is a strange one for me that is a favorite because it was such a random scene. I used to take the train from San Jose to San Francisco to get to work and then walked about 20 minutes from the train station to work. Sometimes I'd come across something unusual that made me want to capture it.

While walking through Jessie Square on Mission Street I saw this stack of law books sitting there just as they are in my photo. They were working on the one of the lots to the side of the square and had a wonderful set of murals on the construction wall. I thought it was just an interesting set of things to be in one image. I took the photo on my iPhone SE.

How awesome, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. We travelled to California years ago and went to a couple of museums that had their works. San Diego is my favorite city in California. How strange to find law books in the middle of no where.

Hospitality is not a 'real' job.
I'm talking about construction trades, cement finishing, common labor.

of course they work in ''real trades''... what on earth makes you think they don't ? :oops:...and try telling a hospitality worker whose been on their feet for 12 or more hours a day 6 or 7 days a week for minimum wage that they don't work in a 'real job''

Send us some pictures. All the ones I have seen so far are people lounging around on beaches and such. That's why I asked the question. Does anyone in Spain work?

How do I know? Maybe they hire outsiders to do the dirty jobs with low pay. That's how the crops are picked in the U.S.

what nonsense..they work in medicine, contruction, hospitals, roadworkers.. , bus and train drivers, professors, teachers.. the same as everywhere else.

The pictures I'm posting are the ones I take when I'm at my second home or on Holiday ( vacation ) in Spain...why would I be taking pictures of people at work while I'm on holiday ?
 
There's something about fresh home baked bread
Even pics seem to bring out the aroma
Especially in a cabin
In winter
Fresh from the BBQ

I quizzed my lady about how she was able to yield bread like that from our BBQ

'It's a heated compartment
….that has a thermometer'

'That's all you need'

Guess that's all I need
Oh, and her...I need her

Well why not? Pictures of people at work are terrific. You are overly sensitive to a simple question in jest.
