Valencia and Costa Blanca 2012

A short break to Spain was an ideal opportunity to see several sides to the country from magnificent city of Valencia to towns on the Costa Blanca.

On our stay we only scratched the surface of Valencia, the impressive mixture of modern architecture of ‘The City of Arts and Sciences’ (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) built in a river bed to the historic buildings in the old town. The next planned visit hopefully more of the historic old city will be taken in.

Field of Light at the Holburne Museum, Bath.

A photograph doesn’t really capture the ethereal magic of Bruce Munro’s famous Field of Light. 1000s of tiny fibre optic lights spread out from the Holburne Museum’s new extension, their reflections twinkling in the glass, and out into the back garden. In the grounds they form pools of light which shimmer and change colour to provide a spectacle of sheer magic.
