A really hot day in the Sierra de La Cabrera
A scorching day - the one where I forgot my sun cream and had ears like pork scratchings (the Spanish would better understand 'toreznos') at the end of it! It also persuaded me that a hat was essential! Taken in 2012 and first posted in ipernity in 2018. Perhaps better on full screen.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Nick Weall clubAndy Rodker club has replied to Colin Ashcroft clubIt is normally a dry heat here, and even when it is 40ºC + in Madrid centre (which it was on that day,) the surrounding Sierras are generally a little cooler and with a satisfying breeze. Except when they are not! On this day the temperature may have been 'only' in the upper 30s, but it was horribly humid and it was one of those rare days when the flies were having an outdoor party; except for about twice a year - usually a couple of days sometime in May and then in September - Madrid and its environs are mercifully free of flies!.
Sorry, that was the long answer.
The short answer is that 35ºC + when humid, is too hot for an enjoyable walk, especially the long uphill sections!

Andy Rodker club has replied to David G Johnson clubAndy Rodker club has replied to ThérèseYour post made me laugh, but I'm so sorry that you had pork rinds for ears as the end of the day! BEEN THERE! I have long hair but if I pull it back...oh my...I've sunburned my ears and it's not advisable! :D
Thank you for this charming shot. Your pictures really are so wonderful to see! :)

Andy Rodker club has replied to polytropos clubI just don't get it.
I visit nature to see nature, not someone's ego-in-stone.

Beautifully captured Andy!

HFF.et bon weekend.
Colin,
Malik,
Very many thanks!
Andy Rodker club has replied to tiabunna clubI didn't make the same mistake twice, George!
Spanish folk instinctively stay out of the sun. I am frequently the only walker in these here parts!!
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful appraisal of my gallery and also your thoughts on uploading old photos again. I share your views on the latter and, because some of mine come from an old platform (Panoramio - which was killed off by Google in 2016), many of their associated notes are a little out of date, enough for me to warrent slight amendments to the captioning.
Yes, I haven't been as diligent in revisiting members' past output to date so I am enjoying the opportunity to catch up with pre 2016 shots. Here in Madrid we are snowed in and this, tiogether with lockdown for our district, gives me no further excuse!
Let's hope that ipernity can recover. I get mixed feelings when I read the IMA pages of notes and comments; more optimistic at times then less so. But in 2017, we came through and I pray we can do so again.
In the meantime I will enjoy delving into your gallery a little more in the comming days and weeks.
Once again many thanks and all best wishes,
Andy
