Holm oaks and granite. La Sierra de La Cabrera.

The eastern end, including El Pico de La Miel (Honey Peak) which isn't the highest point on the ridge but is the most famous as it rises directly above the Madrid Burgos motorway. It's possible to scramble and rock-hop more or less along the entire ridge.

Wisteria in the evening light. Viewed from the front of the house.

Spring 2012 in the Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid province.

Shetland ponies on Treaga Hill, Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath. There has been debate here and on Pano as to whether these are actually Shetland ponies with many members saying they are far too big. But all the literature, online info, signposts and notice boards say that they are and for want of any better evidence, that is what I will continue to call them. Maybe the rich Cornish grassland has fattened them up a treat!
