Scenes from Ibiza's Northern Coast

 Below are a collection of images taken at various points along Ibiza's Northern Coast between Portinatx and San Miguel. They were taken whilst I was sailing between the 2 Villages for an approx distance of 4 nautical miles along the coast.

The pictures were taken using a Polaroid is2132 camera on the 12th July 2014.

Sa Polleta des Punset and Entrance to Benirras, Northern Ibiza Artwork

 A short post of a digital artwork I recently created of a coastal scene I pictured in 2014 whilst sailing the northern coast of Ibiza. The scene pictures a rock I believe is known as the Sa Polleta des Punset which is found at the entrance to the cove of Benirras. On the day people were sailing and swimming out to the rock to use it as a diving platform. The picture shows a small boat to the side of the rock.

Clicking the image should open a link in another window to the higher resolution, un-watermarked version on Clickasnap of the image. Copies can also be purchased there if interested.

Sailing Boats at Les Saintes-Maries De La Mer

 Part of a series of paintings by Vincent Van Gogh created in June 1888, when he took a trip to the area from Arles where he was then living. He was there for a week long trip to recover from health problems he had suffered from at the time.

The picture is also known as Fishing Boats on the Beech at Saintes-Maries-De-La-Mer, according to Wikipedia Van Gogh described to his brother the following

"I made the drawing of the boats when I left very early in the morning, and I am now working on a painting based on it, a size 30 canvas with more sea and sky on the right. It was before the boats hastened out, i had watched them every morning, but as they leave very early I didn't have time to paint them."

This was the front of a postcard I recently purchased, clicking the image will open a link in another window to my Clickasnap profile.

 There's something hauntingly beautiful about old photographs, especially when they're presented in a way that flips our perception....
