A special place, laden with memory. I remember coming here as a child, peeking at the marble counters, at the macabre dead fish, their eyes glazed, silent and still. Scottish voices, banter and jokes, packages of brown paper, the smell of fish. Later my mother would cook the orange-coloured fish in milk, served with a poached egg. Little has changed, the floors, the walls, a link to my past. I was struck by the light too, the way it bounced off the wall, angular, cheering.

On a day of crisp spring, I arrived at the vineyard. It seemed Spanish, ancient, a place of delicious shade and a splash of mystery. A fountain splashed playfully, Tivolian in beauty. And despite the shade, the light was intense in places, white. The walls, ochre, orange, brown, merging in colour. A place to sip fruity, rich, deep wine. A place to spend time, to linger, to contemplate. This work is rich in detail and light, a perfect souvenir of California.

Green Car, Havana, Cuba It is amazing how these old cars keep going but the Cuban people are masters of make do and mend, they have to be because the price of a modern car is way out of reach for most of these ingenious people. It may seem strange to us, but the Cubans still have ration books to purchase their food and other goods. There must be no other place to see such an abundance of the classic American cars except in Cuba, so here is your unique chance to own an original photograph of one of these stunning vehicles for your walls at home.
