Griffon vultures on Cancho de La Bola, Sierra de la Cabrera.
First posted in 2012 on Panoramio but never on ipertinity for some reason / oversight. Still, better late than never!
Lozoya Valley fog. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

From the northern slopes of La Sierra de La Cabrera. First shown on Panoramio in 2011 but not on ipernity to my belief.

The 'face profile' on the right is Cancho Largo, the highest point in the sierra and a good challenge for rock climbers (there were none that day, I have in the past posted shots of climbers tackling the overhang).

Sierra de La Cabrera. Madrid is a smudge on the horizon between the two left-hand pillars.
This was the last time I went walking in these mountains. My objective is to get back up there next spring and that will involve a lot of physiotherapy! But no pain no gain!

Granite country in the foreground.
In the background, exactly in the middle of the shot is Peñalara, the highest mountain in the Sierra de Guadarrama (alternatively called La Sierra de Madrid) at 2,423 metres (7,950 feet). I worked out once that my height here when taking this shot would be approximately on a level with Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the British Isles.
Country path, Fuente el Saz de Jarama.

Path between Algete and Fuente el Saz de Jarama, Madrid Province. On the horizon, La Sierra de Guadarrama and La Sierra de La Cabrera. About 10 minutes walk from where I live now; I didn't when I took this! As i get back into walking mode post Covid I hope to take more shots from round here.

Fog in the Jarama Valley. The Sierra de La Cabrera can be seen in all its craggy but tiny extent. To the left is the brooding hulk of Mondalindo which is not granite and therefore much more rounded. Usually the mountains would be snow covered up till May but not this year.
My sister's shot.
Sierra de La Cabrera. H. A. N. W. E. everybody!

Granite with encina (holm oak) and chestnut tree. On the left is Cancho Largo and on the right; Cancho Gordo, the highest points in this sierra. Best on full screen to fully appreciate the cragginess of Las Agujas de Cancho Gordo - the needles of Cancho Gordo).

Granite country. Canchos Largo and Gordo are the twin peaks on the horizon. Despite the sun, this was an exceedingly cold January day! H. A. N. W. E. everyone!
Monastery, oak and granite.

Convento monasterio de San Julian y San Antonio, encina (a very hardy holm oak) in the foreground and Cancho Largo, the highest point in La Sierra de La Cabrera on the horizon. Granite everywhere! Another very cold winter's day despite appearances!
Suggest better on large.
Rocky Mountain Way. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Granite everywhere in the Sierra de La Cabrera! Best on full screen.
I`ve never been the greatest Eagles fan but have always liked this one from Joe Walsh.

Valdemanco beehives

These beehives were stolen too often and so the villagers move them to a different location every few years. Here it is not on any path and when I chatted with the bar owner later he was a bit put out that I had found them! (The next time I came this way, maybe a couple of months later, they had been moved once more!).
