Las Palmas (De Gran Canaria)

You have to specify the island for towns and cities here as they often have towns of the same name on other islands. For example, you have a Santa Cruz in both Tenerife and La Palma.

Anyway, we have not been doing much apart from enjoying being anchored in a big port with lots of shipping movements to watch and trying to get the new bolt we will need for the tiller head fitting when it arrives. I have therefore got a bit "artistic" with the camera.

The sunset over the port is actually quite nice.

Sadly, theft of dinghies and outboards is a known problem here. We therefore have to take the outboard off and then hoist the dinghy out like this which makes it much more difficult to steal (we hope anyway).

Long shutter exposure of the other anchored boats.

I like your arty pic of the docks. Nice use of colour. Would make a good poster.
