These are images from my relaxing vacation over the 2008 Christmas and 2008/9 New Year. We visited Nerja in Andalucía - a town that is more than just another tourist trap.
I had the opportunity to test my new Canon 5D Mark 2.
This was an unusual vacation. A arrived in Spain as a professor of computer science at The University of Teesside and departed as a pensioner (as my employment ended on December 31st when I retired). Unusually, I have had a remarkably stable life with only one job (from 1977), one wife and one house.
In theory, I should now be free to do more photography. In practice, I will have less time as I was elected second Vice President of the IEEE Computer Society in 2009.
