Mountain stream. Sierra de La Cabrera

Mountain stream. Sierra de La Cabrera
A storm overnight and the almost dry stream-bed comes to life. Rosemary bush in flower in the foreground.
The tower was a mystery to me when I first saw it in 2010 and is still a mystery. I can't get any info (certainly not much sense!) out of the older guys in the local bars, no matter how much Mahou I bribe them with!! I will have to try whisky next time!
I later learnt it was an air shaft for the railway line that ran below the mountains here. The line closed in 2012. I recall seeing the trains run here for a year beforehand. Now it is a popular, if spooky, walk through the tunnell (5 km).
First posted n 2017.

Hi Steve, thank you.
Unfortunately, I walked past here a couple of weeks ago to find half of the tower fallen away and the rest won't survive the next storm spate, I'm sure.
But thank you and best wishes,
Have a good week,
Andy

A beautiful waterfall, good flow very successful
What a fright I have given, because I do not look at the date, they tell me that there is a lot of heat in Madrid, since soon I will be in those homes, by the way, a beautiful photo, I like it, thank you for your visit; But the photos I climb small, there hang one of the moon over Manhattan, I hope the heat goes, over there;
I will meet in Madrid with the old friends of Panoramio; Greetings, Happy Summer 2017,
6 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to xacobeo4
It's a little early for the temperature to reach 40c, Rebeca - normally not until July. Yes I hope it goes down a bit soon!
Who are you meeting here in Madrid? I knew a few Madrid photographers on Pano but I never met them in person and they all joined ipernity but gradually all leftt!!! :o(
The obvious ones I knew well on Pano were F, Campayo, Danimero, and Angel el Alfa III. There were others whose names escape for the moment, including a lady who I think was photographing every building in Madrid! You don't have to tell me of course but I would be interested if you want to send me a private message!
Best wishes,
Andy

It's the granite in both that makes for a few similarities I think!

Any such effects were purely accidental. I shot into the sun, not expecting anything worthwhile at all!

I love how the colors of the spring vegetation fit with the lichen-encrusted rocks of the Sierra, Andy. Great job capturing the "sudden" waterfall and the mystery tower in a very nice composition.

Thank you Chris. Yes, very careful but I can't leave home anyway until I get more strength in my legs in order to dispense with my walking frame - some weeks to go yet!

:) Have no doubt that you will be doing away with your walking frame, you've got a great attitude and a real incentive to do so but those mountains will wait for you Andy. :)

Kudos to you, if you walked through the tunnel just to find the chimney. You obviously went there at the right time to see the stream
2 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
The tunnel is now a popular walk. You can't see the tower from it. We went on the 'Day of the Dead' (All Soul's Day in English) for added spook! The tunnel is on a curve so you can't see the end whuch adds to tjhe overall creepiness!
