Las Agujas de El Cancho Gordo, Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid Province. Not posted for years because I was disappointed in that I had waited ages to get a shot with a vulture in flight; in vain. As soon as I left, they all started flying around as usual!

As explained 3 months ago with its sister shot (here: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/46164932/in/album/1042038) , this was above head height but I knew the view I wanted. It involved lots of jumping up with the camera held high! Only two shots worked out of very many attempts! Granite, Sierra de La Cabrera.

The headland of Trereen Dinas (ancient hill fort) and Logan Rock. A glorious August day. No wind but with the temperature at a pleasant 75F / 25C a cooling breeze wasn't necessary. The scramble to the end is great fun!

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 ...)

Tubby's Head. Actually this is easy because of the gentle slope and massive ledges and it's only about 15 feet from where I am to level ground. No danger of falling to a watery doom!
Is there anyone out there?

Griffon vulture on El Cancho de La Bola. A clear day - Uceda, a village in Guadalajara province can be clearly seen here in mid-distance. Normally the heat haze or Madrid smog doesn't allow me to see that far. It has been suggested that full-screen works well here.
