Picnic table again.

Picnic table again.
Well it's sufficiently different to the last one to merit another airing, I think!

It's amazing how it stays balanced there that way! I am wondering too just where that distant road leads?

Andy Rodker club has replied to Eunice Perkins club
Yes, an amazing 'picnic table!' Thank you, Eunice!
The 'road' is actually a disused railway line. It was functioning in 2010 when I first walked in these mountains and I thought it would be a good idea to use it so the following year I went to book a return ticket from Madrid only to be told the line was out of service. Today it is a walking route with an interesting 5 km tunnel stretch under the mountains which I did with Walking Madrid a few years ago!
(And somewhere here I have some shots from inside the mountain range!)

Lovely framing of the beautiful landscape beyond the table Andy. I like the road receding towards the the distant mountains.

That being the case it will be fairly flat for walking - heat not withstanding;-))

True but there is a gradual gradient as there has to be in the mountains!

And,y I have to say I've so missed your "hiking" images, it's wonderful to see this superb one from not so long ago. Hopefully it won't be too long before you're up there again.
Stay safe and well.

Andy Rodker club has replied to MaggsMep club
Well, I do upload about one in 7-8 from my rocky archive collection, Maggie. But you've probably seen them all before on Pano. However many ipernity members came from elsewhere (Flickr mainly) and so didn't know me on Pano. When I apologise here for repeating my Pano shots I get the reaction that as many weren't pano members they are seeing them afresh (albeit up to 11-12 years old!).
Glad you like them anyway and yes, I hope to be back there before too long!

Dort ein Picknick machen zu können, muss sehr schön sein.
20 months ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to sunlight club
Thank you, Ingrid!
Yes, everyone agrees except the Spanish contingency who don't understand the picnic concept. It has to be a restaurant lunch if they go to the mountains / countryside for a walk, or they simply won't go!!
So I nearly always have the whole place to myself!!

Thank you, Carol!
There was a time, approx 10 -11 years ago when I would come walking here twice a week (I had a car at that time and had no classes after 9 am on Fridays. So I drove home, changed quickly and drove here for a longish walk. Then I would do a longer walk here on Sundays!). I got very fit!

Cette version est plus intéressante (pour mon goût); je trouve que la fragilité de l'équilibre est mieux appréciable et le paysage superbe. Perso je ne me risquerais pas à monter dessus...

This is a gorgeous place to stop and have lunch on that table there. The view is just amazing. Is that snow on the top of those mountains?

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you, Jenny!
Yes, it's snow. Every year it's different. Some years no now in winter at all. Other years tons of the stuff that can linger until well into June!

Here the rock looks even more striking to me than in the photo from 2012.
In addition, the colors of the algae, mosses, or lichens on the stones around are a beautiful frame. The crisp sharpness is equally remarkable.
In short, a fascinating landscape and wonderful shot, Andy!
