Well, just to remind you of the fish markets in Funchal, here are a few photographs, even some of the beautiful scabbard fish, which I enjoyed greatly while visiting.

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

This young Aberdeen Angus cow sought greener pastures in the park!  :)

Armin,
Certainly, on looking closer, those are not oak leaves so it could definitely be a willow. Great trees.

You've had me studying the leaves now!! Can't tell what the nearest ones are, tho' not oak, I agree... but isn't that a big old willow in the far left distance?
I was busy earlier, studying the conformation of the heifer - she is very pretty.

Maggi,

Good thing you liked her.... Robin did after all describe her as a "Young Aberdeen Angus cow", so the pic was obviously aimed at you. ;)

Young and knew her own mind - she wasn't going to be bullied into leaving until she was ready and had had her say - wonderful to watch her running rings round 5 men for over half and hour!  The first photo hit the local newspaper as their photographer arrived too late  ;D

The trees are the most magnificent giant willows  8)

My goodness, Paul, you're right... this is indeed an artistic representation of me - It's confirmed by the description!  ::)

I was not implying it was an artistic representation of you, just that the pic was FOR you.  I am not going to accept the implication that I called you a cow.  :o

I like it here, and want to stay.  ;D
