Part of our front garden.
It takes 100 steps to make a complete lap of this garden. Useful for me to know as I have my set daily target of steps as part of of my recovery programme.

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.
Gooden Hearne. Between Sally's Bottom and Portreat…

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.
Late autumnal wisteria.

Quite spectacular colours for a week or two.
(I can't remember if 'quite' in American English means very or is a more non-descript 'ok - ish' because in British English it could mean either, depending on the context. Here I most definitively mean 'very'!)

Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid. Sept 2020. I was driven past here yesterday and it still didn't look any further completed even though they have resumed playing matches here this season.
