Those of you 'in the know' will remember that she simply will not tolerate a frontal photo (for no reason that I can see!) The park of El Pardo, northwest of Madrid.

Named after the fish which it does vaguely resemble from afar. There is still-visible evidence of a neolithic village on the grassy slopes near the neck of the isthmus.

3 Griffon vultures on their ledges overlooking the broad vista of the Central Spanish plateau (or Meseta = high plains). I see I have posted this one before - and not so long ago either.

I used to get some good sunrises from one flat and good sunsets from my next flat. Now I get nothing at all (but a far nicer flat!). Sight and sound. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQhGVnfU1XU (a re-mastered version and an improvement on the original, I think. Not the greatest of their songs but it goes well with Peter Castell´s comment!)

My mother's garden. Pasiflora and the Primitive Methodist chapel next door (long since disused). The passion flower and fence screen the outside loo (sorry, you euphemism lovers on the other side of the pond, 'rest room'). It's OK, they also have two inside loos but 50 years ago this certainly was the only loo!
