I took this photograph near my city (Santander, Spain) on a windy day in september, when the Cantabric Sea is in full bloom with all the wide range of blue and green hues. I was standing on the edge of a cliff near 'the Englishman's grave', a small pantheon built more than a century ago by the friend of an Englishman's who had died here when he fell off his horse, and in his memory. This is the very first photograph I upload to Caedes and my current desktop. There are two more of the same place in this series. Hope you like them. Please, excuse my many mistakes. English is not my mother tongue.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Caedes. This is a beautiful view you have presented, and your English is better than most of us "natives" can write!

Hi, sailorman6309. Here in Spain when someone says 'welcome' to you you are supposed to answer 'wellfound' :-) ('bienhallado'). So welfound - or whatever the word in English - to you and everyone at Caedes.

Thanks so much for your so kind comments and for letting me know someone is sharing this with me. And especially after having taken a look at the precious images you have uploaded. Thanks for sharing them, too.
