Photo365 – Day 322 – Wind Surfer
A wind surfer at Pozo Izquierdo in Gran Canaria, taken using the Olympus Pen EP2 and 40-150mm lens set at 150mm. The water was quite tame so there wasn’t much major action. It seems they can jump several meters in the air on active days.

Photo365 – Day 316 – gran canaria cat
Taken while on a week’s holiday in Gran Canaria. We stopped in a bungalow at the Cordial Green Golf in Maspalomas. The first thing I noticed on arrival was the number of cats. This one had beautiful blue eyes.
