Between Greenbank Cove and Basset Cove. Next to no tourists here as the approaches from the clifftops are few and far between and invariably steep. Lucky for those that know the paths!

Fog clearing. Jarama Valley, Algete, Madrid Province. Sierra de Guadarrama. Another of my sister's shots.

Valdemanco Sierra de la Cabrera

Little did I imagine in 2018 that in 2 years time i'd be living on top of that hill!

Valderrey, Algete, Madrid Province. View through dining room window.

South West Peninsula Coast Path. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Heather and gorse carpet. Southwest Peninsula Coast Path, St Agnes, Cornwall.

Sierra de La Cabrera. Madrid is a smudge on the horizon between the two left-hand pillars. This was the last time I went walking in these mountains. My objective is to get back up there next spring and that will involve a lot of physiotherapy! But no pain no gain!

The 'face profile' on the right is Cancho Largo, the highest point in the sierra and a good challenge for rock climbers (there were none that day, I have in the past posted shots of climbers tackling the overhang).

Phillip II's monolithic monastery / palace

Second time of posting but I don't think anyone will object!

A future HFF shot, perhaps.

On a benign day. This place is a notorious graveyard for seafarers and their ships. First shown on Panoramio but I think not previously shown on ipernity. Better on full screen.

Some will remember this from Pano and 23 hq. Pure fantasy with a bit of tweaking of tone but the colours at that moment were not far off this! Bosigran Head, Zennor, Cornwall - the main climbing cliff. 2nd posting on ipernity; first time 4 years ago but worth a re-show just for the colours of this early evening shot!

On the South West Peninsula Coast Path as it passes Trereen Dinas (South) with the Logan Rock promontory near Porthcurno. Project 21 August 2021. First posted 2018. H. A. N. W: E:everyone!

On the top of the ridge near the vultures' hang-out. First shown in 2017.

A storm overnight and the almost dry stream-bed comes to life. Rosemary bush in flower in the foreground. The tower was a mystery to me when I first saw it in 2010 and is still a mystery. I can't get any info (certainly not much sense!) out of the older guys in the local bars, no matter how much Mahou I bribe them with!! I will have to try whisky next time! I later learnt it was an air shaft for the railway line that ran below the mountains here. The line closed in 2012. I recall seeing the trains run here for a year beforehand. Now it is a popular, if spooky, walk through the tunnell (5 km). First posted n 2017.

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.
