The second week of September was marked by another trip, this time to 
Bratislava. It turned out to be a very interesting city, and I really 
enjoyed exploring it for the first time. I have posted a gallery on my 
frozenlight.eu site, but as usual, I saved some images, especially of 
people, for the weekly blog. 

While I was in Slovakia, a fairly serious storm hit Spain?s Mediterranean 
coast. Every autumn, we get a weather phenomenon called ?gota fr?a?, or 
?cold drop??a mass of cold air from the north comes down, meets the warm air 
over the sea, and torrential rain results. In general, rain is useful, since 
we can go 2-3 months in the summer without it, but this time it was way too 
much water (and wind). There was widespread flooding and several fatalities, 
and while my wife and I got lucky?we live just north of Alicante, and our 
area was not so badly affected?some people I know south of city have 
suffered a lot and some have lost everything. I took some pictures on the 
beach of the aftermath, nothing particularly dramatic but one can see that 
there had been serious weather. 

It is all here:
