Lost...

Today, I got in the car to go to a refrigeration company nearby to have a look a new undercounter fridge. Just about five miles away. My friend, Didier gave me the instructions. Off I went...

And, guess what? Yes, I got lost...

After 15 minutes of looking around for my final destination, I gave up, left my car at the entrance of a woodland park and followed a sign...

(Click on the photos to enlarge them.)




























And tomorrow afternoon, I will be on one of those heading for the Spanish sun, food and wine...

Man, your really got lost in style!
Much better than getting lost in some dark street or in the middle of the traffic of a big city. Way to go.
Enjoy your Spanish vacation. Have a few cañas for me.

Akela, I always carry my camera with me nowadays. It's so tiny. The break was a spur of the moment thing. I shall take a few photos over there.

Marcos, yes I agree, I was amazed at how clear the water was.
On the Costa Blanca just ½ hour from Alicante. Can't believe this but it was raining over there, today.

Merisi, a good friend of mine advised me to get a Sony Cybershot 8.1...;o)
Sorry about not choosing Vienna... :o{
It’s much easier to go to Spain for many reasons and I'm useless at German…

DC, this was 15 minutes from home and I am glad I discovered it. The chefs will have to wait for their fridge till I come back.
I shall indeed have a few cañas for you. Great to have you back, BTW.

I guess you will be getting lost more often, much nicer than undercounter fridges any day.

Love all the photos. I too love taking pictures of the flowers of weeds, in your case buttercups and daisys. I go around taking macro shots of the tiniest flowers and am amazed by their perfection.

Have a super holiday Cream, enjoy it all, including the weather whatever it decides to do. Best wishes.

Nothing beats a spontaneous event...
except perhaps a planned vacation to Spain.

Cool - at first I was expecting a picture of a fridge in the pond... glad to see it's unspoilt.

Where you are going is less than an hour from where I lived up until December

I miss Spain *pouts bottom lip*

Enjoy y hasta pronto amigo

Caro, I will get lost more often from now on.

HE, The accident prone tourist usually. Let's hope it all goes well.

Thanks, Mary. I will.

Q, I shall try to bring a few pictures back.

Fathorse, I was thinking about writing a funny caption. I like ducks too especially with crispy pancakes and hoisin sauce...;o)

Goth, there is a lot of pondlife around here but I'm glad it didn't apply to that little corner of paradise.
One hour in which direction? I may know where you were...

Thanks, Hayden.

Thanks, Bella. I shall bring back some piccies...

Bon voyage, Cream!
(As far as Arnie's accent is concerned, he's is so heavy because the region he comes from, Styria, has a very pronounced dialect - we Austrians all speak a "second" language, usually it's really our first, i.e. dialect of the region, and we learn correct German usually not before starting first grade.)
I am looking forward to some great pictures from your vacation!

A note of caution:
Due to some unfortunate events in the past, which involved once the complete loss of my camera, I now always put that little string around my wrist, as soon as I start pulling out my camera. It's a matter of habit, and serves well.

When I get lost I end up in a scary neighbourhood. I much prefer the way you get lost.

I love the way the water looks in that photo with the three ducks.
