Foggy Sierra de La Cabrera

A test photo edit and share to drive and then to ipernity. Not as edited as it could have been due to limited time but it kinda seems to work! It was my most fun day in these mountains ever! Especially as I didn't know, finding my way through the fog, whether I would actually stick my head out from under! When I did, the granite playground was mine, MINE, MINE!!!

Another side of the Sierra de La Cabrera that is away from the main ridge but has its charms! A smoky / hazy winter shot. (Also posted ages ago but worth another airing methinks!) Another bitterly cold winter day.
Here is a link to my 'Mushroom Rock', as mentioned in the photo notes. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/46109522/in/album/1039862

Above the village / town.

La Sierra de La Cabrera. Pure granite. An oldie for sure. The town of La Cabrera lies at its foot. From the town, it's quite a tough and steep ascent. I'm trying to build up the stamina to tackle it again. No editing - I quite like the rough effect.
Sight and sound; another Sixto Rodriguez classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCbtijgxUw8

And yet another!

And another day I had planned to get back to those mountains you see there!
Ha ha!!

HANWE, everyone!

Anvil shaped storm cloud (I would guess somewhere over the Lozoya Valley), sunset and, yes, it came our way. Another very stormy sleepless night! Enough is enough!
(Sorry about the bit of camera shake clearly visible in those town lights!)

Happy bollard

This won my 'Best-dressed Bollard of the Year Award' back in 2018. I passed by it again yesterday but it wasn't quite up to scratch so I post another of the shots I took back then, simply because I like it!
I'LL BE OFF-LINE FOR A FEW DAYS WHILE MY LAPTOP IS IN DRY DOCK FOR ESSENTIAL REPAIRS. CAPACITY ISSUES TOO (PHOTOS!)
I HOPE TO BE BACK IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING THIS COMING WEDNESDAY..

Spring wildflowers, La Sierra de La Cabrera.

This is the sort of scene I was hoping to see this Spring but the weather was against me and I'm not yet 100% sure I've got quite enough stamina back yet.
Oh well ...
This is a previously unshown shot from the last time I walked in this granite wonderland; 25/05/2019.
Four whole years ago. It doesn't seem real somehow!
Sight and Sound. Eric Burdon and War. Tobacco Road. An all time favourite. Long but worth it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF87aqqmf4Q

The problem of trying to snap bats!

Andy Rodker has posted:

They were out in force this dusk just gone and they are hard to capture at the best of times but this is their time when they feast on the plenty of mosquitos we unfortuntely get here, especially at the start of a heat wave (coming now). I sometimes try to capture them in honour of the sterling job they do (I react badly to mosquito bites!).
I can only find two and I thought I had got a dozen or so in shot!

Another stormy day! Or, a Midsummer Night's Dream!

Apart from 3 sunny days , the weather has been atrocious these past 6 weeks since I returned from Cornwall!
The oleander seems to thrive in it though!

Personification of Spain!

I was amazed when I saw the outline of a map of Spain through this rock window! OK, it's not a perfect outline but you couldn't get much better!

Cornish coast. The figures give the scale.
The path down starts at the bottom of the photo, left hand corner and it's not for the faint hearted! So it's mercifully free of the summer hordes! Although surfers like it here and can swamp the place if the conditions suit them.

Normally home to many Griffon vultures but they were all out as I clambered over it. An oldie but still a favourite as it gives a good feel for the spectacular granite forms. I 'note' where the vultures usually like to hang out.
La Sierra de La Cabrera. Unsure if posted on ipernity previously.
