Spain

I am fortunate in that I have a good friend with a house around 20 miles inland from Almeria just outside the village of Tabernas. The area is home to the only geological desert in Europe and became famous in the 1960s when a whole raft of 'Spagetti Westerns' were filmed in the surrounding badlands. Some of the filmsets have been preserved and are now tourist attractions. They offer endless photo opportunities. This is also the land of the Peublo Blanco, the white villages of Andalucia, which have yielded many images for me over the years including many in monochrome that were included in the panel of prints with which I achieved the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2001.
