Viewed from Carn Gloose. For Pam! A strange day where the light was generally good but there was a pervading misty atmosphere, hence no horizon to speak of. Taken 2018 and posted first 2018.

Rock window (perhaps hopefully onto a brighter future for us all?). The way I took (not a path at all really) went under this rock. Very common to have a giant boulder wedged over a gully in granite country! Granite forms on Pena del Tejo, a little to one side of La Sierra de La Cabrera proper but terrific scrambling territory in its own right. Indeed I spent a whole day here, intending to move on to the main ridge but finding a day's worth of interest at this place, including the mountain stream close-ups I sometimes post. photo taken 2012 and first posted on ipernity in 2017.

Rodochiton in my Mum's garden, Saint Day, Cornwall. Originally poted in August 2017.

Penberth Cove, Southwest Peninsula Coast Path, Cornwall. Taken August 2015, re-posted December 2020. For Pam.

My Mother's garden, St Day, Cornwall. Taken 2011, First posted on ipernity 2017.

Plaza Chueca, Madrid. Christmas lights in the rain. First shown in 2016 on ipernity from a shot taken in 2013. I can't upload my new 2020 Christmas shot so a blast from the past will have to suffice!

***'Watch the Master and learn!'*** Griffon Vultures, Cancho de La Bola, Sierra de La Cabrera. Granite. Madrid Province This one again (first shown on ipernity in 2016), simply because it is a favourite of mine.

Another re-post, this time one more shot from 2011. View towards the expansive beach at Perranporth (in the far distance!). A fire in July 2017 sadly destroyed the vegetation on The Beacon. But it will recover in a few years.

H. A. N. W. E. everyone! The spire of Truro Cathedral can be seen. Victoria Square; normally a busy town centre but, as I was waiting for the bus to take me back to my car at the park and ride, I suddenly noticed that a providential traffic lights arrangement had made the traffic vanish, so I whipped out my ... mobile phone!

Cornwall Coast at North Cliffs. For Pam. 2nd posting - under the new disposition. A shot from 2011, originally posted 2016. H. A. N. W. E. everyone!

Another shot of this famous building. The curving ledges are solar panels. A revolutionay first in 70s Madrid.

Greenbank Cove to Porthcadjack, North Cliffs, Cornwall.

This tree can be seen from afar. Sierra de La Cabrera.

Red fence, gates, palm and a creeping vine.

Plaza de Olavides, Madrid (an octagonal 'square'!)

From my sister´s home. Valderray, Algete, Madrid Province. Perhaps on 'black' or 'z'

My local park, and they change the volume, force and aspect of these water fountains every few hours. At this juncture, they look very swan-like! Also, the pink paving slabs; granite, so typical of the Mountains of Madrid nearby, fit in well in these settings.

This has crumbled into the sea. It had ceased to be the coast path some years before this shot (it was moved some way inland). My last visit here (2018) and this would have been impossible to take a shot of. It had all gone!
