H. A. N. W. E. everybody

Good that you had taken a photo of it.

Thank you, Eva!

WOW what a shot, Andy!! so much to see far in the distance too. well done ! from your archives I see. a great photo. you H A N W E also. Sarah

Thank you, Sarah. Yes, I haven't been out much this past year and not at all to the mountains so I have a trawl now and again to see if I still have a few shots not previously shown, at least not on ipernity! Sometimes I get it wrong and shots get repeated two or three times!

Très jolie vue et une étonnante composition qui donne un sacré relief...

Merci, Pierre!

Oh wow, what rocks...

The Sierra is famous for its wierd granite forms, Udo. Many thanks!

Impressionnant ! Il valait mieux ne pas être en-dessous quand ce gros rocher est tombé !
Bon weekend. Amitiés

My thought exactly, Madeleine! Many thanks!

Il ne demandait qu’à tomber Belle prise .

I wonder how long it had been like that before it fell!

Superb shot.

Thank you, Frode!

Just as well you weren't standing underneath at the time, Andy. I hope it isn't too hot where you are. I find temperatures of 30+C unbearable.

Thank you, Amelia.
Yes on both counts. The heatwave here is exceptional even by Spanish standards. It is expected to cool down by a couple of degrees by Tuesday (big deal! 42º to 40º is hardly a relief!)

This is a very unusual shot and the fact it really isn’t there anymore makes me think once again that nothing lasts forever

Very philosophical of you, Colin!

Stunning composition.

Thank you, Jaap!

Bon cadrage !

Many thanks, Gilbert!

How far did the rock travel as it fell Andy?

Not far, Nick only from about head height to the faint path below so now it is a little bit of a scramble to get past the rubble!

impressive rocks
Have a nice weekend:)

Thank you, Annemarie. You too!

Wow,das schaut richtig gewaltig aus,wie du diese Felsen da vorne ins Bild gesetzt hast lieber Andy :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Tolles Foto! Auch Dir ein schönes Wochenende!

Güni,
Karl,
Many thanks to you both!

Superbe *******

Thank you, Boro!

A splendid part of your vast collection of such rock shots Andy. Well composed and rather nice lighting show here. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Pleased you like it, Herb!
I can never remember what I have or haven't shown on Panoramio. On ipernity, sure, I can easily find out but even then I double up occasionally by accident, if you see what I mean!
Best wishes from a stifling Madrid!,
Andy

Spectacular capture! HANWE and stay well!

Great, Andy ! An impressive composition. Wish you a very nice weekend too !

Très bien, bon dimanche Andy.

Excellente photo juste a temps bonne journée

Mächtig ! Ein beeindruckendes Foto !

Great capture Andy! Enjoy the weekend.

A fantastic shot Andy! I'm not surprised it eventually fell! Looks like it had a long drop!
Have a good weekend and stay cool, if possible.

Very interesting shapes! A historical picture!

An amazing shot Andy.............the rock formation was absolutely fantastic..........and probably still is, even with the loss of the hanging bit of rock. The fine details are beautiful and I love the light and colour palette.

Absolutely excellent shot Andy, I'm not surprised it succumbed to gravity.

Wow - you were lucky to have managed to capture at all, it reminds me of a horse's neck. The rock formation is really amazing.

Ein gewaltiges Felsmassiv.

Great comments! Thank you all!

This looks like a troll:-) Pity about its demise, though...

It does dosn't it! I used to think it looked like a giant stone lizard but now I'm not so sure - anyway a tad academic now!

Wow, really impressiv rock!

Thank you, Wiebke!

Great to see another of your mountain images, Andy.

George, Many thanks!
I have a lot more that I've never shown and which, quite frankly, would only be of interest to geology aficionados!

super!

Thank you, Markus!

...fascinating...

Many thanks, Erika!

how mysterious and even threatening...

Thank you, Christel!
Yes perhaps. But threatening no longer!

klasse compo

Cheers, Fred!

what a fantastic view!

Cette prise très rapprochée est exceptionnelle
de par sa beauté avec l'arrière plan d'un paysage plongeant
superbe, mais magnifique aussi par les formes de la roche
entre autre la ressemblance avec le dessous de cette patte de cheval au premier plan
bravO Andy bonne nouvelle semaine
Merci aussi pour toutes tes visites pendant mon absence sur IP

a very impressive rock!!!

Beeindruckende Felsformation, Andy!

Claus-Peter,
Roland,
Gabi,
Wilhelm,
Thank you all!

WOW - sehr eindrucksvoll

Thank you, aNNa. If you recall, I used to post 100s of shots like this on Panoramio until it got a bit too boring. So I now post about 3 a month, as I do with my old Cornwall shots.

Amazing!

Thank you, Gillian!

What a powerful place and image! The looming dark clouds add to it nicely.

Thank you, Laura! Hope you are keeping well!

Well, I'm well now, so that's good! Had a really nice day with my sister today, and that feels like being well also!!

Impressive atmosphere, heightened by the strong and dark presence of this granite.
As you mentioned above, I remember these remarkable rocks that you regularly showed us on Panoramio!

I overdid it on Pano, Eric!!
I now perhaps show about 1 in 10 photos from there and of necessity they are all old and sometimes repetitions, whether knowingly by me or not!
The same with my Cornwall shots of which I have even fewer and ALL the ones I post now have to be repetitions but just occasionally I find one that I haven't shown on ipernity, even if it has been seen on Pano.
I hope to visit both in the next year but now without a Spanish or a British driving licence thanks to Brexit and illness (sight problems too), I won't be in a postion to travel to my favourte places anymore! :o(
Stil,l we'll see what happens as I gradually get better!
All best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful, imaginative, and interesting composition
I do wonder what those rocks could be imagined to be!
Best Wishes, a nice week, and stay cool!!
Peter

My first thought when first seen (now back in 2011, how time flies!) was that of a giant lizard!
What do you make of it, Peter?
Thank you for your fine comment!
Best wishes,
Andy

nogmaals schitterende foto

Thank you, Fred! (Again the translation service has a problem with Dutch!)

spectacular !!!
