<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Hola<br />
Rob great pics as always.  Just wondering what you are   using for these fabulous pics. Is it a phone camera or something else?. Do you photoshop these images or are they raw?</p>
</blockquote><p>My trusty rusty iPhone SE and Photoshop to fix the clarity, the light, and to make the photos look like what I see. Sometimes I get a little artsy fartsy just for fun. Hope you don't mind.</p>

<title>Heat and Hope in Zih</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a hot night. My <em>media naranja</em> and I spent part of the evening on our <em>azotea</em> watching ominous looking storm clouds get so close we could smell the petrichor, only to see them dissipate into nothing without a drop of rain to water our plants or cool down the neighborhood. Even after a couple of <em>caballitos</em> of tequila and enjoying the soulful sounds of Otis Redding, sleep was slow in coming due to the heat. </p>
<p>Around 3:30 a.m. after tending to the arrival of water in our tinacos, opening and closing valves so our renters would have the precious liquid upon their arrival in the mañana, I lay in bed trying to decide if my breath was actually cooler than the air the fan was blowing on me. All of a sudden I could hear a powerful engine and see flashing hazard lights coming up the street from the direction of the museum. It was a huge truck bringing 4 more pilings for the pier. It was like watching a rocket being towed in a military parade. These pilings are massive! But in a few brief moments it was all over, the street was deserted and town was quiet again except for the soft crashing of the waves, a sound that I LOVE.</p>
<p>Of course we had to go check out the pilings at sunrise, and this is what we found.<br />

<p>What a beautiful way to start the day!<br />
