Accidental shot on the Madrid metro. But I was pleased that I had polished my shoes that morning!
It's like your Mum making sure you always had clean underwear on 'because, you never know, you might be hit by a bus'!!!!

If you were not 100% catholic, in the days of the reconquista and after, it made sense to declare your undying adherence to the True Faith of the Winning Side by such means as these biblical extracts over your door!

Buitres Leonidas. Griffon Vultures. I was fortunate to get this close. I was upwind and in the shade; it helped!

Photo taken in May 2013, regardless of the exif date!
Another shot of the best positioned tomb ever!

Prehistoric and brilliant. Unfortunately there are no contents now - tomb robbers very soon after and wild weather down the centuries cleaned this out but still ... What a terrific site for a tomb! Obviously someone much loved (or feared?)
Gurnard's Head and Carn Galva from Zennor Head

|

A wonderful stretch of the the South West Peninsula Coast Path, Zennor, West Penwith, Cornwall.
Gurnard's Head; so named because of its resemblance to the fish.
The raised coastal platform, or strip, will immediately be apparent to all you amateur geographers out there!

Close to Madrid but centuries away.
On Z please.
Last chance to save this site.

Las Machotas, from near the village of Peralejo, Madrid Province.
She wouldn't then. She doesn't now. I respect that. Of course. It doesn't matter that I don't understand it. 5 years on and I have accepted it!
Mutton Cove, Reskajeage, Cornwall

Often a beaching place for seals, and lots of them, but not at this hour, or this day.
On the Godrevy / Hell's Mouth stretch of coast path and very popular with walkers and families (there is a huge car park, sadly - and a huge sandy beach behind me).

Must have been a Very Important Person indeed to merit such an impressive location for a tomb!
HFF everyone!

Horses on Carn Marth. This is inland Cornwall but you can just about make out the sea at or near Falmouth.

Pinner, Middlesex, One of the few true villages still extant in the London area. A photo from 1979 - my Pentax ME SLR and b/w film, scanned.
I came here for a job interview. I was in my last year at uni. I was early and walked around and took a few photos (I had packed my SLR with my notes for the interview for some strange reason).
I did OK at the interview, forgot all about it, went to France for a year after my finals, then got a message from my Dad that the firm in Pinner wanted to know what had happened as I had been due to start many months ago!
I had very little recollection of all this, except a few black and white photos, of which this is one.
Upshot: 35 years work in the Financial Services Industry, starting with this firm in Pinner before I finally upped sticks and came to Spain 7 years ago.
That was the short answer. The long answer is ...........

Of course we did have ropes and safety equipment but I was obviously being stupid for the camera!
