Granite shapes, La Sierra de La Cabrera.
This strange hanging rocky shape fell to the ground a year or two after I took this shot.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Sarah O' club
Thank you, Sarah. Yes, I haven't been out much this past year and not at all to the mountains so I have a trawl now and again to see if I still have a few shots not previously shown, at least not on ipernity! Sometimes I get it wrong and shots get repeated two or three times!

Just as well you weren't standing underneath at the time, Andy. I hope it isn't too hot where you are. I find temperatures of 30+C unbearable.
2 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you, Amelia.
Yes on both counts. The heatwave here is exceptional even by Spanish standards. It is expected to cool down by a couple of degrees by Tuesday (big deal! 42º to 40º is hardly a relief!)

How far did the rock travel as it fell Andy?
2 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Nick Weall club
Not far, Nick only from about head height to the faint path below so now it is a little bit of a scramble to get past the rubble!

A splendid part of your vast collection of such rock shots Andy. Well composed and rather nice lighting show here. Well done.

Pleased you like it, Herb!
I can never remember what I have or haven't shown on Panoramio. On ipernity, sure, I can easily find out but even then I double up occasionally by accident, if you see what I mean!
Best wishes from a stifling Madrid!,

An amazing shot Andy.............the rock formation was absolutely fantastic..........and probably still is, even with the loss of the hanging bit of rock. The fine details are beautiful and I love the light and colour palette.

Cette prise très rapprochée est exceptionnelle
de par sa beauté avec l'arrière plan d'un paysage plongeant
superbe, mais magnifique aussi par les formes de la roche
entre autre la ressemblance avec le dessous de cette patte de cheval au premier plan
bravO Andy bonne nouvelle semaine

Thank you, aNNa. If you recall, I used to post 100s of shots like this on Panoramio until it got a bit too boring. So I now post about 3 a month, as I do with my old Cornwall shots.

Impressive atmosphere, heightened by the strong and dark presence of this granite.
As you mentioned above, I remember these remarkable rocks that you regularly showed us on Panoramio!
2 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Eric Desjours club
I overdid it on Pano, Eric!!
I now perhaps show about 1 in 10 photos from there and of necessity they are all old and sometimes repetitions, whether knowingly by me or not!
The same with my Cornwall shots of which I have even fewer and ALL the ones I post now have to be repetitions but just occasionally I find one that I haven't shown on ipernity, even if it has been seen on Pano.
I hope to visit both in the next year but now without a Spanish or a British driving licence thanks to Brexit and illness (sight problems too), I won't be in a postion to travel to my favourte places anymore! :o(
Stil,l we'll see what happens as I gradually get better!
All best wishes,
Andy

Hi Andy
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful, imaginative, and interesting composition
I do wonder what those rocks could be imagined to be!
Best Wishes, a nice week, and stay cool!!

My first thought when first seen (now back in 2011, how time flies!) was that of a giant lizard!
What do you make of it, Peter?
Thank you for your fine comment!
Best wishes,
