Mushroom Rock
My mushroom rock again!
I can't resist it! It is off the beaten track and I don't always find it but when I do it is like greeting an old friend!
Mushroom Rock (from the other side)
Still mushroom in shape but not quite as mushroomy as seen from the other side and in some previous photos uploaded here.
Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid Province.
H. A. N. W. E, Every one! Mushroom Rock.
Granite throws up eccentric forms!

This is my mushroom rock!

Granite and oak (and Mushroom Rock)
Encinas (holm oaks) are endemic in central Spain and are are much revered. Here they help to break up the harshness of the granite on the ridge of La Sierra de La Cabrera! Mushroom rock in the background.

Doing OK ... just needs a little bit of support now and again!
Chun Quoit
The cutest quoit in Cornwall (there are a few equally cute dolmens in Brittany and elsewhere in Europe).
Neolithic burial chamber; would have originally been buried completely under a mound of smaller stones and earth but 6,000 years of Cornish weather has easily disposed of all that!
Chun Quoit
Chun Quoit (quoit = Cornish for dolmen). Although small, it is the best preserved quoit in Cornwall. All the others have dislodged capstones or some other disturbance. These are presumed to be burial chambers but no burial remains have ever been found. They were all originally buried under a mound of stones and earth but erosion in the harsh environment of West Penwith and the action of tomb robbers has meant that you can see the vestiges of the mound only at one quoit; here, at Chun. Estimated to be approx. 6,000 years old.
Sited in Morvah parish, West Penwith, Cornwall. Misspelt Quiot on Google maps!
