In Águilas: a photo album

I see I failed to upload this batch of photos a few weeks ago.  Águilas was such a charming town; I should keep track of these.  Might as well do it now, since it’s a rainy afternoon here in Encinitas and our motel has great WiFi.

I stared at this bird standing on the wall for a few minutes, trying to determine if it was lame or not. About when I’d concluded it was, it dropped the other leg and shoved off.

The bay side of the fisherman’s pier. We’re obviously looking at a working harbor here.

This is such a strange sculpture on the pier. You’d think I could find a reference to it.
