Columbus Day



Blue skies for Blue Monday

Tomorrow is a national holiday in Spain, celebrating the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, specifically the Bahamas, which occurred on October 12, 1492. Which makes the current one a wonderful short week!


This is the Columbus monument in Seville (see "1492" on top?), more precisely in the Murillo Gardens. A picture of the entire monument can be seen here

  7. Wow this sky is really blue !

    BTW each year there are more Halloween decorations ! The pictures I took in this Garden store didn't have any Halloween things last year and this year there is a whole part of the store with Halloween things.
    People also start to decorate their gardens ! 5 years ago there was nothing at least I never noticed anything.
