Nice information!  Whereas cleansing out my spare room (I’m turning it right into a studio of types for my photos) I found a laptop computer that I believed was lengthy gone!  On it had been a few of my most cherished photos that I believed had been misplaced.  I had uploaded them to Fb approach again when, nevertheless it was good having the unique information again.

As I’ve gotten higher with enhancing pictures it’s been a lot enjoyable going again by way of journeys I took 10+ years in the past and re-editing my photos.  And that’s what leads us to this week’s image of the week.

Throughout the summer time of 2004 I studied overseas in Salamanca, Spain.  It was an important expertise and I’m a agency believer that each pupil ought to do it sooner or later of their examine.  There’s one thing unbelievable about not simply touring to a brand new tradition however dwelling there and turning into a part of it.  I went again in 2011 and it was a lot enjoyable visiting all my outdated haunts.

Anyway, whereas I used to be there I had some mates dwelling within the excessive south of Spain, simply throughout the border from Gibraltar, which is a British exclave on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula.  I went to go to them and we went as much as the highest of the Rock of Gibraltar (for these of you within the States: sure, the one from the Prudential brand).  Atop the Rock are superb views and: monkeys.  Tons and plenty of monkeys.  I do know what you’re considering, “Aw, cute” and they’re fairly cute.  If you’re up there interacting with them, although, it’s extra like “Aw, how cuHEY GET BACK HERE WITH MY STUFF” for the reason that monkeys are literally thieves.  When you have any meals or unfastened clothes they’ll simply run up, seize it, and scamper off to MonkeyLand to commerce it for bananas or no matter it’s the monkeys worth.

Anyway, I managed to get an image of this monkey trying all majestic and whatnot earlier than he jumped on my buddy Jerry’s shoulder and tried to steal his hat.  I named him Walt.  So right here’s your image of the week: Walt the philosophical-looking monkey.
