Changes Are on the Way
Posted on Nov 29, 2005 | Categories: Metablogging | Leave a comment
Over the last couple of days I have been receiving some feedback from different folks who have indicated how difficult it is actually reading from my weblog. To get things started it actually takes a substantial amount of time to load the page because of the leaves background and also the different graphics. Secondly, there are some items from the design itself that are somewhat distracting from the main content and since you folks are also somehow an integral part of this weblog I have now decided that I am going to start moving into another WordPress theme, which will be a lot easier on the eye and also a whole lot less distracting.
So while I am still validating elsua I will also initiate the process of upgrading to the new theme and add the different components that are now part of the standard weblog template. So you would have to bear with me for a little while till that gets done. And then I will be back to normal. Let’s see how the changes will take place with the new theme. Hopefully, they will be improved.

What Nature Created Over Millions of Years …

… Nature itself just destroyed it in a matter of hours and all of that thanks to the tropical storm Delta. There have been some casualties and lots of damage, indeed, all of them irreparable, along with the so-called El Dedo de Dios (God’s finger), one of the many symbols from the North of Gran Canaria, which is no longer what it used to be.
Here is a picture of what it used to look like
And here you have got another one after tropical storm Delta hit the island during the course of yesterday:
Thank goodness that it was just a tropical storm. Can you imagine the devastation if it would have been one of the many hurricanes we have seen hit the other side of the pond ? … Phew ! We have been lucky, I guess.

Degollada de las Yeguas and Risco Blanco

A couple of weekends ago, two good friends and myself decided to check out the countryside from Gran Canaria just after a couple of days of heavy rain. We knew we were just going to get ready for some stunning landscapes with lots of green all over the mountains and all that topped with some charming villages scattered around the different places we visited. Of course, I took my digital camera with me and this week’s pictures from my Flickr account are just a very small number of the good bunch that I took but that will give you some good ideas about how magnificent things can get after a day or two of some very much needed rain. So here we go with the three of my favourite pictures of the week so that you can get to see what it is like:
Degollada de las Yeguas
Risco Blanco

WoW! Amazing, right ? Well, just today we have got a warning while tropical storm Delta arrives to the Canary Islands, so this week there will be some more wonderful pictures waiting for us out there, I am sure !
Enjoy them !
