Greetings!
My Black & White series today is inspired by a recent song by Police, shared by @ewkaw. :) I am trying to keep that moving forward so below you will find a song by Sting that isn't one of his most popular and commercial as it was created back in 1985 to support an environmental imitative, as far as I recall. What I also like a lot is the musical alloy of rock, pop and reggae that is very specific for the music by Police and Sting.
I don't remember the name of that album with songs by different artists but I remember playing it over and over again for weeks until the cassette quality deteriorated to an extent it was a pain to listen more to it, hehe. I bet many of you haven't used cassette players at all :) Anyway.
Those travel photos you're going to see below I took at Europa Point, that is the most Southern part of Gibraltar and the land in the not-so-far-away-distance is Morocco and the Spanish city of Ceuta in Africa! Yup, that's another fact that will surprise many of you, Spain has few cities in Africa :)
The beautiful Europa Point Lighthouse is also present here. I a sure everyone could tell Europa Point is a multicultural and multi-religion spot at the edge of Europe. That is, at least, how I percepted it.
In general, meeting the sunset there at the brim of Gibraltar was an awesome experience except for the fact that we had to get a taxi on our way back as the bus you see in the first photo was the last for the day, quite early in the evening, to our surprise.
That lead to another experience, with the taxi driver as it was his last course for the day, he didn't accept cards and we didn't have any British Pounds with us but I guess I will tell that one in a separate story as it is totally worth it and lead to visiting some places in Gibraltar we would have other miss! :)

Another thing I bet on is that once you play this song, it will keep spinning in your mind :P

You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything. Please consider the first photo of this post as my entry today to the established #monomad daily contest by the monochromes account and community and supported by the qurator account, thank you everyone for your hard and continuous efforts to build and grow this great community!
