Binissalem Car Show
Passion is contagious. The people who buy, restore, maintain, and drive old cars clearly have a lot of love for their vehicles, and it is great fun to see the fruits of their labors. Over the weekend every inch of available space around the main plaza was occupied by beautiful old cars. Walking through the…

Vehicles of Mallorca
I don’t drive. I can drive, however my wife and I sold our car before we moved to Kazakhstan in 2015 and neither of us have felt the need to get one since then. Mostly I get around by bicycle, public transit or walking. It works great. As a person who doesn’t drive, I often…

Behind the colegio (elementary school) there is the town olive co-op where local growers bring their harvest for processing and packaging. Currently we are in the season for harvesting, so olives are everywhere. One particularly lovely aspect…

Cars at Rest
I estimate that cars are some of the most highly designed objects that many of us deal with on a daily basis. For some they can be sculptural masterpieces, and others they are a blight on the urban environment. Clearly they are ever present in the modern world. Cars by their nature move through space…

Doors of Andalucía
The gorgeous Pueblos Blancos of Southern Spain contain a multitude of stunning sights. Perhaps not the most obvious are the doors on homes and buildings. The front door of a home is a boundary between the public and the private. If left open these are an invitation. Closed, they send potential visitors away.
