DESCRIBE A PHOTO

This is one of my favourite photos. It is a colored photo. It was taken in June in 2015. They are my school workmates. We are all happy because the school year is over and we are celebrating it with a trip to the Natural Park of Doñana. The sun is shining and in the background, you can see the huge sand dunes which are really beautiful.
From left to right, you can see Lola, she is a maths teacher. She is wearing a red t-shirt and jeans. Next to Lola, we can see Gema. She is the literature teacher. She is wearing a flowery top and black jeans. Rosario is between Gema and Esperanza. She is also a maths teacher. She is wearing a blue and white top and light-blue trousers. Esperanza is the school councellor. She is wearing beige trousers and a fuchsia polo shirt. She is carrying binoculars and a beige rucksack. Merchi is in the middle of the picture. She is wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. She helps students with special educational needs. I’m next to Merchi. I’m wearing shorts and a white top. Ana and Silvia are on the right of the photo, Ana is weaing a hat and a brown bag. She teaches Spanish language and literature. Finally Silvia teaches maths too. She is wearing a blue and white top and blue jeans. Except Gema, we are all wearing sunglasses.
I like this photo because apart from my school workmates, they are my friends and having friends at work is a great luck.
