Civil War look-out post ruins on Cancho Gordo.

Sierra de La Cabrera, Looking east to Pico de La Miel from the half way point along the ridge. I tried to find out who built this, but when I asked in the village, they all said it was built against Napoleon.
I have learnt to back off when I hear this. The Civil War is still too raw, or still too taboo, to get a frank discussion in these villages. Concrete wasn't around in Napoleon's day!

What a fantastic framed view. If this was used during a war - they really did have a wonderful advantage. You can see for miles, yet remain hidden behind this frame.

Una composición sobresaliente y parece natural. Destaca mucho más lo que se ve al fondo.

You have to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold! You were wise not to pursue the issue Andy. That vista is fabulous and your framing sets it all off.

CIVIL WAR IS THE MOST DAMMING... IT SET BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER. . WAR IN ANY FORM IS VILE.. BUT CIVIL WAR NO MATTER HERE IT THE MOST UNFORGIVING.

I share so deeply Pam's remarks
The wounds left by a civil war are the most difficult to heal and are often incurable.
Here in Italy, mostly in the North, after almost 80 years, still burn those left by the civil war (1943-1945)between the members of the fascist Republic of Salò supported by the Nazi troops and the Partisans of the Liberation Party supported by the Allies.
Beautiful portrait of this fortification, impressively framed against a superb background.

I find it hard to understand how humans can look out on such beauty and hate and kill.
