a record of otherwise ordinary things in Gibraltar seen through the eyes of a newcomer; of things she finds beautiful; of things she appreciates..all because a Gibraltarian stole her heart

featured place in Gib: West View Park and a mixed-use park
when we first moved in to Westview Park, the recreation area behind the building was still in construction. this area was destroyed by a severe storm back in October 2008. now, however, a new park and playground is up and running. it is lovely and we often go there for a nice walk or a try at one of the exercise equipment they have.as you can see, Westview Park is the sand-colored building on the left and Atlantic Suites on the right.this park and playground is pretty long stretching from Atlantic Suites to HarbourViewsthese are the exercise equipment (oddly similar to the ones found in every HDB building in Singapore) that we usually try out when we are thereHarbour Views in the background, these gazebos are perfect for group meets or picnicsbig, earthy planters with colorful flowers and really nice topiari-ed ficus treesthe kids had a say on this tooto enjoy the view, sit in one of these benches and enjoy some quietudei am still a bit confused about this one. they look like beehives or wasp nests but i don't know what they are for. maybe petanque? or some kind of bowling? if someone knows kindly illuminate me.true to a mixed use park, there are a smattering of playground equipment for kids of all agesa yellow domeahoy there, matey!a bright yellow slide wwweeeeee!a big rubber swingand these colorful climbing apparatus
