Clouds

Sierra de La Cabrera. Storm approaching.

It was fun climbing through the fog not knowing if I would emerge from under it! Fortunately I did. And fortunately by this time I was familiar enough with the paths not to be worried about going astray in the mirk!

Las Agujas de El Cancho Gordo in a sea of fog that surrounded the entire sierra. Sorry, I just realised I also posted this a couple of months ago!

Sunset from my old flat.

Porthcadjack, Cornwall.

Back in 2013, for a few months, I lived in a high-rise block and used to wake up to terrific sunrises!

Rock hopping here at low tide is not really an option - with all this seaweed about!

One of the joys of teaching Business English is the early start of a morning! Top executives want to have their classes between 7 and 8:30. I do sometimes get to see sunrises in compensation!

May 1. Forecast bright, sunny and hot, I was caught out by a snow storm which came out of the blue, and wearing only a t-shirt. Fortunately it passed by in half an hour and the sun came out again! On 'z' please. Fundraising is still going on, ultimately IMA need at least 50,000$ to continue Ipernity into 2018! www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/ipernity-members-association-a-non-profit-entity

Dawn, August 2014. St Day, Cornwall. Well, it's still my bedroom window even if I haven't spent more than 10 nights here in the past 5 years! The building in front is the annexe to my parents house. It comprises a good sized ground floor kitchen and on the upper floor bedrooms and a bathroom. This annexe used to be a temporary bedding down place for tin miners who had worked a late shift; the property being in the possession of a tin mine captain. Poldice Valley seen in the distance and with a chimney just visible, was a world centre of arsenic mining and production. Even today, 150 years later , nothing grows there and certainly no houses can be be built on the poisoned land. The life expectancy of the miners was horrendous! Not all Cornwall is romantic!!!

Dawn on Christmas Eve 2012.

Sierra de La Cabrera. March 2012

September 2015. Storm threatening.

Another fine sunrise to wake up to. I was fortunate for a few months as there were many such sunrises (Late 2012, early 2013).

I saw many of these sunrises when I lived in this 11 floor flat for a year.

Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid Province. Underneath the fog in the distance is Madrid.
