The fires of this summer!

The summer with two great fires in the Canary Islands began. Later those of
Greece and soon in Castellón. Those of Greece with the misfortune of human losses.

In La Vallesa forest, two small fires, the last one in the middle of August, that affected 5.000 m2 ( 200 of them of forest land ). And it´s that
every year, in summer, and taking advantage of winds the west, is some
unscrupulous one that tries to burn the forests of any site, and thus to take
advantage of the lands wich no longer they serve for anything, to construct leaned and to
fatten its pockets with real estate sales that report much money to their owners.

Luckily, La vallesa forest already it´s a Nature park, proteged ofiicially by the
State, but to wich all we have obligation to protect.




A boat sunk in Ibiza!

July 10th, the merchant "Don Pedro" sank near the coast of Ibiza.
Broken cracks of this boat removed to the surface their fuel. Quickley
10 tons took shelter of fuel, but ttree beaches were closed by the spill
of the ship and they had to put burriers anticontamination to try to res-
train the fuel.
As many we know, Ibiza is an island specially characterized by its
tourism, for misfortune of wich it was called on to see excellent
stained beaches of black liquid to then covering borders and sand,
would be a horrible vision.
Figueretas, Embossa and Talamanca beaches were in danger
their tourism because the spill could cause a serious danger for the
natural resources or for the health of peoples.

As opposed to stained Ibiza and its coasts it is the island of Formentera,
and just opposite the beach it is Illetes beaches, with its white sand and
spectacular blue waters, that I like to see when I go in summer. This year
I was in August and I had the luck of wich the spot of the spill, that the
winds and tides of this summer, as soon as they arrived until there.

Inundation!

My father likes fiction science;
He reads many books and he likes fiction science films.
But tris summer the fiction has made reality, because the strong rain provocated
in United Kingdom inundations.

Cloudbursts on July 20th were followed by a Sodden weekend, leading to the highest
water levels in 60 years.
Up to 6.500 houses and 1.500 firms in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire
were flooded as the rivers Severn and Thames burst their banks.
Several people died.
