Sierra de La Cabrera with Mondalindo as a backdrop.

It adds a bit more drama to this very interesting scene! Wonderful shot. Andy!

I was going to ask you what this chimney was there for, but I see your suggestion that it might be a smoke vent, sounds very plausible. This is a great picture and I just love the backdrop of the mountain. The cloud pushing its way between the mountains looks as if the weather is very changeable there.

I've been caught out before now, Jenny!

staat na 7 jaar nog steeds

Even in 7 years, it is in a much worse state, Fred. I think one more storm or a severe wind and it will go.

ANDY... USUALLY THEY WERE VENTILATOR SHAFTS

Thanks Pam!!
It was built in the days of steam , that is why I talked about smoke vents. But I agree with you,

impeccable +++++++
Excellente fin de semaine.

Beautifully composed landscape image.

The tower makes a good focal point for the beautiful mountain scenery beyond.

Nice view, Andy!

Jolie compo !!!

En effet étonnant au milieu de ces rochers !!!

Lovely shot. *****
Have a great weekend

Very nice indeed Andy...............it's amazing how much that ventilation shaft stands out from the natural rock formations..........but I like the contrast!

Many thanks, Keith!
Those were the days I was coming here twice a week (that is why so many of my Spanish shots are from 2012!), Now?? Once a year; and my annual visit I hope will be between now and the 2nd week of June to capture the late spring wildflower show in the higher mountains. It is just a pain that this co-incides with my busiest few weeksof the year (exam time) and getting time away from all the grind ain't easy. But I gotta do it for the sakeiof my sanity!

simply but mysterious tower, in a very beautiful scenery !

This image has an interesting colour-mood. And the interruped blue of the sky makes a good contrast.
