La Sierra de La Cabrera. My favourite Mushroom Rock can be seen from here but only the cap; the stalk is hidden. Can you see it? Clue: it's on the horizon.
Las Machotas (again, best on large and full screen to get the granite effect).

From Riofrio, to Mondalindo in the mid distance and on the horizon, L to R; Sierra de San Pedro, La Pedriza, La Cuerda Larga, La Bola del Mundo, and Peñalara (the highest peak in the mountains here). La Sierra de La Cabrera is behind me.
H. A. N. W. E., everyone! Near Las Navas de Buitrago, lichen playground! (best on full screen).

La Sierra de La Cabrera from the north. Granite country. I had a car for a few months when I first moved to Spain. I took this shot from a few miles north of the Sierra. I haven't been here since. All my Sierra de La Cabrera shots after 2011 are from the Sierra itself or from the south. Fecund lichens here! (Can lichens be fecund? I'm not sure).

A weekly journey to a take a class I no longer make! This footbridge crosses a dual carriageway. On the horizon is a section of the Sierra de Guadarrama (from La Maliciosa on the left to La Cuerda Larga on the right).

Up above is Cancho de La Bola and that guano stained rock beloved of Griffon vultures. A freezing cold January day! Fred might be astonished but I know for a fact that I've not posted this one before; neither on ip nor on Pano!
Late spring in the Sierra. I seem to have my computer back on a very limited basis but I doubt it will last!

Granite, cistus and wild rose. It's mid June but still late spring in the mountains.

Spring last year in the Sierra. Sorry, I've not been active. My laptop hard drive died and I have to rely for everything, including giving classes, on my phone. I don't find using a phone keyboard all that easy and I can't edit easily, if at all. So I will visit infrequently. I hope you all stay very, very safe. Bye for now, Andy
