From Torre Europa, looking north to Torres Kio and the Four Towers along this main Madrid thoroughfare. Behind the furthest towers can just be glimpsed La Sierra de La Cabrera. Best on black and full screen.

This large rock does seem precariously balanced, as if it is about to topple over but it really is very solidly 'fixed'! El Cancho de La Bola, La Sierra de La Cabrera

Situated in the spectacular Hoces del Duraton, Segovia Province. Built in the 13th century but flattened by the collapse of the rocky spur above it. I couldn't find any reference to loss of life so I presume (and hope) that the monks abandoned it at the first sign of danger! Viewers have suggested enlarging it (the photo, not the monastery!)

You wouldn't want to let your ship any where near these rocks! Tubby's Head blowholes. There are two close to each other; they can't be seen separately from this angle. But they can from above and afar: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/46103862/in/album/1036936

I forget how the original looked, I think just a blur but a bit of playing around with it gave me this.

Strange granite shape on the path up to El Cancho Gordo, It has a name which I knew but have since forgotten. Straight ahead is El Cancho de La Bola, haunt of Griffon Vultures. La Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid Province.
Rocky Stone and The Bedrocks are ready to perform their age-old rock'n'roll classics; just for you!! (But they are getting on a bit so might take a while - a few million years - to warm up! So if you have things to do in the meantime ...)
