Sierra de La Cabrera and an exuberence of granite.

Encina (holm oak), Canchos Largo y Gordo. And granite, granite and more granite!
Look closely at the oak. It has been lopped. This is a 'managed' wild landscape! It is also my favourite walking country.

I was, Nick - but sadly I haven't been more than once in 18 months - a bout of ill health put paid to that. This is why you see so many old Pano shots from me. However I'm pleased to say I have been given a clean bill of health so I'll be getting back into the mountains soon - in time for the Spring Show I hope!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Andy!

Next to the structures and lines of tree and rocks and ignoring my surprise about all that granit in Spain (limestones, the mediterrainian countries exist out of limestones ... ?), I like the mood of the view: out of the shadow into the shimmering heat of a hot afternoon. Or so.
Good capture.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

Well, this one and many thousands of others. The encina (holm oak) is ubiquitous in much of Spain; it doesn't mind hot dry summers and periods of drought.
Thank you Roger!
