Taken with my short-lived Samsung. It self-destructed 2 months after I bought it. The company said 'water damage' which wasn't true. But I got nowhere with them so I vowed to have nothing to do with Samsung ever again. Poor PR in my book!

Sierra de La Cabrera and the Bustarviejo Valley. Additional note 12 years later. On reflection this day was my first ever in this Sierra and I fell in love with it on the spot!

They only open at the height of the strongest sun and when the temperature gets really hot, sometimes for an hour or so only. I have seen them closed on a sunny and warm day - it just wasn't quite hot enough. This is not photoshopped or edited in any major way. The tulip colours and the grey of the degraded granite were as seen. Sight and sound! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXHwzyqFRDE

A cold but dry January day in the Sierra de La Cabrera. I used to over-edit in 2012, having just discovered a free editing tool!. But even so, I quite like this!

Sierra de La Cabrera and Spanish Lavender

16 Jun 2014 58 75 1022
Spring flowers - June 2014. The Lavender flowers earlier in the valleys than here. It used to be called French or Provencal lavender because it has the same two top purple leaves (not petals) but recent DNA profiling showed that it is a different variety found only in Central and Southern Spain and Portugal.
