[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I’m very happy because today I post my 500th photo from Spain and just today two of ours friends, Sergio and Òscar, will leave the prison after a long time in the shadow.



This time, it isn’t the first time, they’ve been in the jail because of weird business. They have sold second-hand underwear for years.
They sold the underwear in boxes with twelve pieces (one for every month of the year), but they never said they had been used before.
This very year hundred of people get ill because this second-hand underwear not was “clear”, it wasn’t hygienic.


Finally police caught Sergio.
Oscar was wanted by the police. But Òscar, he never has been very smart, went to the prison because he wanted to see Sergio.
It was in the meeting when Òscar was caught by the police and since then both have been in prison.

Last week there was a burial where the judge was laughting at them and cursing their damn ideas.
But now they are free and they have come back to their houses.



And that’s the story about our friends.
About this photo, this is Cocolandia. I am going to leave for a while Cocolandia and its pictures, but for today, for my 500th picture from Spain I wanted to visit again this place.

I hope you like it.

PD: it has been a casuality, but this photo was taken just one year ago

Hola Coco,
Let's celebrate :o)
You are posting your 500th post while I am posting my 250th, just half :o)
This view of the sky in Cocoland is gorgeous and I have heard a lot of good about you because I was in Switzerland last week-end and met Nikki and Toni.
Wish you all the best for the 500 next to reach the 1000 ! I still have a lot of work in front of me...
Have a nice evening.
Best regards, Christian

Hola Carlos,
después de leer tu historia sobre los facinerosos y haberme reído un rato, te felicito por tus 500 fotos de España. Menudo trabajo de divulgación de nuestro bello país.
Sobre la foto, me gusta por la luz y los tonos del atardecer, que dan un bello resultado en el cielo, pero he de decir que tus WS son magníficos también, no sé si el que tiene el sol de frente en forma de estrella y un fuerte contraluz podría haber sido el post principal.
Buen trabajo, y espero ver pronto las fotos de la cárcel de Óscar y Sergio.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hello Carlos!
500th from Spain! Wow! What a nice work you have been doing! Congratulations! The shot has a nice sky and it is the best from it. The ground is a little bit dark for me, but it is just my preference. The lights on the clouds are great and makes the photo!
Please keep posting from Spain! TFS!

Hola Carlos, you never stop surprising me with your endless collection of the Cocolandia. All 3 images are fantastic, although this one might be the most stunning painting. And now, you reached the 500th post of your country - Congratulations for that achivement and hope to see some posts of the story of the prison... ;-)

I'm a big fan of skies, so I really like this one! The colour there is amazing, and I like the contrast between the pink clouds and the deep blue sky. Excellent work!

Once,my sister Anes asked you in one comment if we need passport for Cocolandia:)Now,my turn to ask !Congratulations for your 500th pic from Spania and wait us there :)It looks like the clouds themselves are running to see your land!Wonderful sky
A nice Sunday

Hola Carlos,

Aún me estoy riendo...Escribes muy bien historias cómicas. Ahora está justificado el desaparecimiento de ellos.
Escojistes muy bien la foto para conmemorar la quingentésima. Me gusta mucho ese cielo tan hermoso, un momento del día lleno de belleza y magía.


MIS CUMPLIMIENTOS!
Abrazos
Leonor

Hola Carlos.
Felicitaciones por tus 500 fotos expuestas en TE de España. Tienes magnificas fotografias no solo de España sino tambien de Grecia.
La verdad es que no cambias, me he reido mucho con tu nota sobre Sergio y Oscar. Espero que estos Franceses, Noruegos, Alemanes, etc no se vayan a creer tu historia y piensen que los dos estuvieron de verdad en la carcel, me voy a reir mas si veo en una de las criticas a ellos diciendoles a los dos que se alegran que ya esten fuera y que se porten bien para que no los vuelvan a trancar.
Tu foto esta muy buena con muy buenos colores y un impresionante cielo. Tus dos WS estan magnificos.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Hola Carlos!

500 fotos de Espana! Esta esa una hazana, hermano! Y que gran foto para celebrar este momento importante! un paisaje de Cocolandia muy espectacular, con gran atmosfera y un soplo de aire libre para nuestros amigos que no pueden dejar atras su pasado de delincuencia. Ten cuidado, son mala influencia!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hi Carlos
Congratulation on both occasion, although I would sentenced Sergio for life for such a horrible acts...;)
Nice colours and light, I like especially this cloud relaxing on the hill :).
Regards

Hi Carlos
Nice post for the event. 500 picture, you are far from me !
Excellent composition with this beautifull light in the sky.

Hi Carlos. Well congrats on hitting #500 from Spain! I'm glad I didn't miss this one. What a sky and light you had on display here and you captured every bit of it flawlessly. Awesome work Carlos!

Hola Carlos,
Congratulations on your 500th post from Spain, And many thanks for this incredible sky you present us here.
Friendly regards - Izzet

Hi Capullo.

I wasn't in the jail...I was just looking for something to demostrate my innocence to the horrible mistake. Second-hand underwear? My objetives are...worse and I'm working on it. You'll have news...soon. Take care every day while you're flying...

About the picture...puajj, a bad copy of my lovely picture of the Gothic Castle of Macastre without the Gothic Castle of Macastre...so....

Congratulations for the 500th post in the Trekearth, Carlos !
Wonderful sky with lovely clouds and nice colours.
Os nossos amigos, felizmente, ja sairam da prisao !

Hi Carlos,
congratulations of your 500th post from Spain. Nicely strong colours and contrast in the landscape. Amazing history about Sergio and Oscar. With us sold of clothes from second hand is in the many shops. Fine photos in WS also.
Gr., Aleksander

Hello Carlos,
A lovely scenery as the setting sun is playing with some fluffy clouds up above.!
Wonderful colours and nice details, a simple but well working composition...
Great colours of the beginning autumn make a lovely combo with the blue!
Greetings,

Hi Carlos,
Congratulations on the #500!
To continue with your tongue-in-cheek style:
I wonder what kind of fortress of evil lies between that special dark cloud. It seems to send a fierce red sharp edged flames up the sky. Special dusk light and wonderful open landscape.
Kari

No me lo puedo creer...

Que se ha hecho de nuestro "pacto de caballeros" eso que me dijiste de ir en contra de Oscar porque tu te veias incapaz. Yo me lo creo y ahora me encuentro esto. Deberias leer mi critica en una ultima foto de oscar y entenderas...

Te queria felicitar por el 500 post pero ahora no se que decir.

Los dicho y que te la pique un billo

Hola Carlos,The sky is magic with such detail in the clouds that you want too reach out and stroke their softness.  The FG is rich with dark velvety detail as well while in the corner that little branch adds subtle DOF.This is a lovely sunset series.  While your PP is primary, it is great to see the clouds changing so quickly as the sun sets.I last posted on your 500th and 'last' TE post.  I'm glad to see your TE demise was an announced in error; because  I've just been on a very interesting trip to Cocolandia.Deseándole salud, amor y alegría (SAA), Pat

Hola Carlos,
congratulations on your 500th photos.Very nice composition with vivid sky and these superb clouds on the sky.Indeed, it is so much better to provide the expansive horizontal view here. The subdued light, with the sun still painting pastoral colors in the clouds makes this a memorable shot.Well done Carlos

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hola Carlos,
Enhorabuena por esta foto 500 de nuestra geografía.
bello cielo con bonitos colores, me gusta también el WS1.
Buen trabajo

Incredible sunset sky and clouds, the contrast between the somber earth with its brown textures and the beautifully lighted sky is very dramatic. Great effect.

TFS and congratulations for your 500th !

Hola Carlos,

Un momento mágico y una gran captura, el polarizador funcionó a la perfección, ese cielo parece esta pintado a capricho, los WS son excelentes y merecedores de que también fuesen expuestos, la nota... creativa. Felicidades por las 500.

How come I missed this one??!! The sky and cloud colours are wonderful. The one on the left seems to be sitting on the mountain like a hat. A nice little series with the 2 WSs of the ever-changing sky. Congratulations for 500 photos of Spain.

A fine way Carlos to mark 500th photos just from your beatiful country. Keep up the good work.
The low light on the landscape and the deep blue sky works well together and sets forever this moody moment.
Tragic with your friends but what to expect from such filthy business.. LOL

HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

1000 felicidades por to 500va foto. Espectacular!

Me alegra saber con el trafico de vestimenta interior de segunda mano a llegado a su fin, y que Oscar ha mostrado su verdadera intencion... a ver cual es la nueva aventura en se meteran los caballeros de la tabla cuadrada.

:)

Saludos,
Enrique

Poor Oscar! Poor Sergio! Their famous business was halted but at least they could escape the prison and are happily at home again, wearing their monthly underwear :-)
Coco, who else could write such intimate stories of his best friends other than you? And especially on your 500th upload? Well, it is I would say very proper. 500, that means a lot of beautiful magical Cocolandia shots, and we are all the richer for it. Thanks Carlos and keep doing it, plus please let us know of your new job. This shot is gorgeous, of course, I should add.. the sky, those cirrus clouds enveloping one of the hills of Quintanilla del Coco... magical.
Take care Carlos!

Hala Carlos
La 500 para cocolandia, pues no podia ser de otra manera. Bonito cielo sin la tipica bruma de las grandes ciudades como Barcelona ;-)

J'apprécie beaucoup.

Yo tambien te quiero felicitar por esta 500gesima foto iberica.
Preciosa, cielos como tu nos sueles tener acostumbrados, bien expuesta,real y bella.

Si ya he vuelto... ha sido un verano durisimo en muchos aspectos y gratificante en otros pocos.
He estado currando todo el verano en la isla de Xios y he echado de menos esto.
Tienes un huevo de fotos buenisimas desde la ultima vez que pase por aqui. Poco a poco cogere el hilo otra vez.
Hsat pronto.
