A lovely landscape.

A stunning landscape with a majestic mountain backdrop. Excellent work Andy!

Thanks Keith. Those 'majestic mountains' are actually only spiky little hillocks! The main ridge of La Sierra de La Cabrera isn't shown but you can just make out its start of a rise to the heights at the extreme right.

Excellent photograph.. view and detail.. the info' shows Nokia N95'... brilliant results.. and questions the need for expensive cameras... Cheers from Dj. UK.

There's a tale here, Dj; familiar to some of my old ipernity and Panoramio stalwart friends!
I was given a super SLR for my 18th birthday (Pentax ME), together with some superior lenses and gear. I used this actively for a few years and then found that I couldn't go climbing every weekend and lug this heavy gear about so I fell out of the habit and the equipment still sits there forlornly in my parents house in Cornwall. :o(
I guess I didn't take a single photo between 1986 and 2011
Then ...
very many years later when I moved to Spain to teach English after my UK business went belly up at the start of this recession, I was given the Nokia N95 as a replacement for my deceased mobile phone (another Nokia) and I soon found that it was a far better camera than a phone and I started to get into the habit of taking photos again. For two years I took photos with the N95 only. Then, tragically, I dropped it in a bog in Cornwall and that, as they say, was that. Since then I have used a Canon ixus 700 digital - great at night shots - but also deceased as it won't accept charge from any battery despite 'experts' looking at it and my old Motorolo E (OK but not a great camera) and a Samsung smartphone that exploded after a couple of weeks (no compensation - 'water damage' they said, which was a load of b....cks - over the next month or two these incidences became commonplace!) and my Fuji Finepix 100 which I really like not least due to its very compact size. Recently I have been using my new Huawei honor 6 which has an OK camera.
So today I alternate between the Fuji digital and the Huawei smartphone.
But I do miss the Nokia N95!!!!!!!
Sorry about the saga but I couldn't shorten it by much, if any!
Best wishes,
Andy
