Personal favourites

Some will remember this from Pano and 23 hq. Pure fantasy with a bit of tweaking of tone but the colours at that moment were not far off this! Bosigran Head, Zennor, Cornwall - the main climbing cliff. 2nd posting on ipernity; first time 4 years ago but worth a re-show just for the colours of this early evening shot!

On the South West Peninsula Coast Path as it passes Trereen Dinas (South) with the Logan Rock promontory near Porthcurno. Project 21 August 2021. First posted 2018. H. A. N. W: E:everyone!

A storm overnight and the almost dry stream-bed comes to life. Rosemary bush in flower in the foreground. The tower was a mystery to me when I first saw it in 2010 and is still a mystery. I can't get any info (certainly not much sense!) out of the older guys in the local bars, no matter how much Mahou I bribe them with!! I will have to try whisky next time! I later learnt it was an air shaft for the railway line that ran below the mountains here. The line closed in 2012. I recall seeing the trains run here for a year beforehand. Now it is a popular, if spooky, walk through the tunnell (5 km). First posted n 2017.

Griffon vulture on El Cancho de La Bola. A clear day - Uceda, a village in Guadalajara province can be clearly seen here in mid-distance. Normally the heat haze or Madrid smog doesn't allow me to see that far. It has been suggested that full-screen works well here.

More gorse and heather but I'm sure you won't mind! First uploaded in 2017.

Another one of this but it's irresistible! A raincloud that had soaked everyone 15 minutes earlier can be seen scuttling away offshore. You can see the scale by the tiny figures in the surf. First posted in 2016 but worth another airing I think!

Holm oaks and granite. La Sierra de La Cabrera.

The eastern end, including El Pico de La Miel (Honey Peak) which isn't the highest point on the ridge but is the most famous as it rises directly above the Madrid Burgos motorway. It's possible to scramble and rock-hop more or less along the entire ridge.

Old door and window. Maderuelo, Segovia Province. Night shot.

I think this could be rosa Pullman Orient Express 2007, but there are lots that are similar. A very stormy day again with low light levels.

Wisteria in the evening light. Viewed from the front of the house.

Viewed from the back of the house. My sister's shot. I was still in the Land of Nod!

The first garden rose of many. Project 21, April: flowers. Best on large I think.

From the slopes of Mondalindo, overlooking the village of Valdemanco, to the slopes of the Sierra de La Cabrera. It hadn't rained for almost a year and the country was as parched as it looks here!

Photo of Porthcadjack from the other side of the cove taken on the same day (see entry 3 uploads ago www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43863236) . Samphire and Asparagus Islands, Carvannel Downs. In the distance; North Cliffs, Hell's Mouth, Reskajeage and Godrevy. A millpond of an ocean! Many thanks to you all for your great comments and your yellow stars - much appreciated

Another old olive tree in a local park.

South West Peninsula coast Path between Basset Cove and Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath, Cornwall. For Pam. Full screen best, I think. I simply felt like showing it again. It cheers me up! Hope it does the same for you. An addition to Project 21, April: Flowers.

Taken on Boxing Day morning a year or so ago. A lovely scene to wake up to. And I wouldn't have guessed at the time that a year later I would be living here!
