La Sierra de La Cabrera - granite boulders

Excellent shot, great pov and perspective.

Thank you again, John!

The die is cast!
:-)
Good one!

'The die is cast!!!!!'
Only on Friday was I explaining this apt but dificult idiom to a student!

Do you know the origin of this phrasal verb?

... Or ... Do you know my student?

Alea iacta est ... or so? Julius Cäsar?
But I refer my latin knowledge by him. ;-)

And, no, I do not know any of your students! :-)

You may be right. I didn't learn Latin!

Here we are - Asterix/R.Goscinny did right. You not neccessarily need to learn on hard school-benches.
But the connection with the river Rubicon, I didn't know. I knew that crossing the Rubicon-phrase as "point of no return" or that the way ahead is as far (or already shorter), than the way back. "Alea iacta est" or "Die/Der Würfel sind/ist gefallen" (usually it is plural - sind=>are - in German) or "The die is cast" for me had the sense of "The decision is made".

Yet, enjoy your Sunday! :-)
(Finally we have some rain over here and end of September-temperatures. It was, perhaps still is far to dry (and to warm). As a garderner and a person who works outside most time of the week, I happily can cope with rainy Sundays - I just made a fire in my oven and looking forward to a nice cup of tea) :-)

You are probably right. I know about the Crossing the Rubicon speech - and another one is 'to burn ones boats.' Cortez I think.
Enjoy your tea!!

Impressive boulders. Magnificent photo.

Ron,
Erhard,
Thank you!

Thank you again, Pat!

beautiful and imposing

If I didn't know better, it would be easy to assume that some of these granite boulders had been carved fashioned by man and not nature. These rocky landscapes are fascinating and beautiful.

Many thanks, Gudrun!
