Two kinds of Scolymus (golden thistle) grow along the paths by our village: S. hispanicus and S. maculata. In the summer, these plants dry up, leaving their tall scaffolding by the side of the fields. According to their descriptions in Wikipedia, I think this one is the S. maculata
While the heat has been literally killing people over in France and the UK, here it’s been quite pleasant all week – mid 20’s C. Around sunset, we went for a walk with the dog.
The photos show the dome of the house of silence (doumia / sakinah) and some dead pines in the forest.
We don’t have many such atmospheric evenings here.

Today I finished processing the photos I took, along the walk from Condom (France) to Logrono (Spain).
If the photos do not appear below, or to see them upon an interactive map, please click the album link.
While we were in Paris I had some fun running around and taking pictures. Here are a few – mainly of people. I wish there had been more time.
It isn’t a problem with the camera in this case, or my unique way of seeing the world. Just how things looked around here after the fire last week. They douse the flames from the air with a pink coloured spray.
These are actually from yesterday’s walk, but I went the same way today. The skies have been lovely lately.
