Our rental car3751 views2008-07-25
Totana, Murcia, Murcia, Spain
N37.7761 W1.4568
We rented a Citroën C4 diesel 4-door hatchback. It was an excellent and fuel-efficient car, which was good, given the cost of diesel fuel in Spain (about €1.33/l, $2.15 CDN/l, or $8.00 USD/gallon).

According to Google Earth, this photo was taken at an elevation of 258 m. See also the photo of this fire lookout that was taken from the Sea Princess scenic cruise boat, also in this album.

Restaurante el Santuario1084 views2008-07-27
TÃscar, Jaén, AndalucÃa, Spain
N37.7697 W3.0236
This is the beautiful restaurant at the sanctuary of TÃscar. We had planned to eat here this day, but didn't know exactly how to get to the restaurant. Fortunately, a detour (the highway between Huesa and Quesada was closed) led us directly to the site! And yes, the food was quite good. Looking SW.

Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
44.3114,-68.3454
These pine cones were unusually photogenic, against the bright blue sky. This photo was taken very near the summit of Beech Mountain (just north of the summit), and, I believe, within sight of the fire lookout station.
