¡cazamos un arcoiris circular! Originally uploaded by dobar. See what we caught this morning when our plane was taking off from Schipol Airport (Amsterdam). We were still flying low and there were some clouds here and there. Suddenly, on a cloud below us, I could see a circular rainbow with the shadow of the plane across it. I was so excited I kept stroking Álvar's arm until he could see

See what we've just found in google video. It may take a couple of minutes to download depending on your brandwidth, but it's worth the time ;)

Remember that view of Leeds Inner Ring Road we took last October? Here is a series of photos from the same bridge, taken a couple of days ago and made into a video for you ;)

graveyard Originally uploaded by dobar. Matze has reminded us of this set of photos that we took a couple of months ago in Leeds.We actually don't know the name of the church... It's in St. Mark's Road. We've "geotagged" the photos so you can find the exact location using google maps.Best of luck, Matze! Tell us how your experimental film turns out :)Everybody else, have a look at this

We don't usually write about the same topic in both blogs at the same time, just because I tend to be irritably perfeccionist when trying to translate a text and it would take me hours to post even the tiniest story. So I won't be translating this time either, though I'll be dealing with the same topic...I'd love to introduce this fine artist, Stephen Griffin, to all of you :) We found his songs

I came here to study literature, but that was because I didn't know that I hated it yet. I love reading, but I hate literature. I don't know if that will make any sense to you, but it does to me. And I'm glad I can distinguish between the two now. It's taken me 5 long years of my life (or 23, depending on where you start to count) to realise it, and I guess there's nothing I can do about it

I came across this comic strip in a book on linguistics (Marina Yaguello's Through the Looking Glass) quite a long time ago, and though I was aware of having seen it somewhere I couldn't remember where exactly it had been...Well, I saw it again today and couldn't help taking it home to show it to you. The picture is maybe a bit too small (it gets a bit larger if you click on it)... Anyway, I

The clocks went back yesterday and it's just sheer chance that we know it. We would have been early for almost everything today if one of our neighbours hadn't told us... Anyway, the story gets a lot funnier when the clocks go forward in spring. These friends were flying to somewhere in Europe last March, so they arranged it with a taxi driver to be picked up at 5 a.m.At 4 a.m. our friend's phone

We've been thinking about having a section of dobar's written in English for those of you who have difficulties with Spanish ;) or simply find it interesting to read in another language.This is by no means meant as a sheer translation of what we write in dobar's. Some languages are better suited for one particular topic, and I often quit writing something in my mother tongue just because I cannot
