On this our third holiday in Pollenca, NE Mallorca, Mr Carmichael and I decided to revisit some old haunts. A number of these will be detailed in up-coming posts but a sneak peek at the first villa we rented mumble, mumble years ago with our brood gets a mention here because I was forced to photograph our residence through a rusted iron gate.
Hidden behind was the Mallorcan farmhouse and orchard that we remembered so well.
Of course when I say we I mean Mr C and me. The girls remember the dead rooster in the swimming pool. Ah well.
Further hidden finds here: Where’s my backpack?

I love this picture, especially the blurriness of the rusted gate and the beautiful scene within. This would also work for the unusual point of view Weekly Photo Challenge. You could have killed two birds with one stone! But what I love most of all is the image I have in my mind of you sneaking up to take this photo through the gate surreptitiously! 🙂
Ha yes, Mr C didn’t get out of the car – which is probably a good thing since we were blocking the tiny road.
The gate was actually stunning in its rustiness.
I can tell. Good for mr. carmichael to be the driver of your getaway car!
now onto the banks!
Idyllic – I want to live there! And I agree with EVERYTHING Cathy has said, particularly the image of you sneaking up to the hole in the gate to take this picture [snarfle, snarfle]
Jude 🙂
Thanks Jude. I always like a challenge and am pleased how it came out – focus smokush.
what a lovely peek you gave us through the rusted gate
Thanks Rosa. It does leave you wanting more, doesn’t it?
Mrs Carmichael Does Stealth, then! Nice one,and agree with Catbird! 🙂
I always felt I would have made a good spy 🙂
😀 😀 a missed vocation, then….
One of many.
I don’t think I’ll ask what the others were…we might be her till Christmas 🙂
Only ’till then? I catch myself so often saying, “I would have really liked….” or “I thought about…..” or “If I’d gone there rather than there I’d now be …….Queen!”
Oh, my, you are deluded, then?! 🙂
Delusion is my middle name.
😀 😀
I adore the view through which your photo was taken, Mrs. Carmichael!
Thanks – always peering through 🙂
Great way of shooting…and I’d remember that rooster too.
Funnily enough I’d forgotten it but reminded I can see the red/rust/yellow feathers and black beak as if it were yesterday arrrgh
Children just don’t have a sense of humour when it comes to dead things.
No, your right. Although I did leave it up to Mr C to get the poor thing out.
I can understand that…and husbands need to feel useful.
Lovely framed photo. Did you not take a quick snap of the dead rooster?
No but only because that was 15 years ago 🙂
